Shannon G. –
I loved this resource so much! I ended up laminating them. The students were so engaged because they go to pick a card and answer it by themselves without other students cutting in. This was great!
Anne D. –
I love using these for a quick check-in to see how well students are reading their books. They also help with conferencing.
Sheri Loyd –
I love the idea and all of the available prompts. However, sometimes a prompt does not always fit with something my students are reading.
Patricia I. –
Many good questions that students can use to show comprehension. I use the cards for students to use during partner reading.

The students love the choice of picking one question per day to respond to after their independent reading time
