Use them in a variety of ways:
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
Close Reading Posters and Anchor Charts (7):
Talk Time Discussion Prompt Cards/Sentence Stems (36):
Discussing the text in small groups is an important part of close reading. Written in the first person, these 36 Talk Time cards will help your students to discuss the text with their classmates. The cards are color coded for first, second, and third reads. There are also cards to use at any point during the close reading process.
Graphic Organizers/Printables (16):
Use these 16 different graphic organizers and printables to help your students explore different aspects of the text. Both lined and unlined versions of the graphic organizers are provided. There are activities for each stage of close reading, including graphic organizers for each of the five text structures. Some of these would make good pre-writing activities for an in-depth text-dependent question.
Writing Prompt Labels/Cut Outs (20):
These 20 text-dependent writing prompts are perfect for using with interactive notebooks. They could also be used on notebook paper or as exit slips.
The prompts will help your students to dig deeper into the text at any stage in your close reading. They cover main idea/supporting details, text structures and features, author’s purpose, making connections and more.
Each prompt is repeated 10 times on a page and are formatted to print out on Avery 8163 labels. The prompts can also be printed on regular printing paper, cut out, and glued or taped into interactive notebooks or onto notebook paper. A blank sheet is also included for you to create your own writing prompts.

It has been awhile since I have used this with a whole class, as I have switched grade levels. But I do recall that my students did benefit from the many options and the accessible formats. I have also used this rather recently with students that I tutor, and they have also shown success with this great resource.
