Sticky Note Bookmarks
Students mark their reading with a sticky note using the bookmark prompts.
I love using these bookmarks to check in on student comprehension of their independent reading. Here's how they work: As students read 20 minutes each day, they mark their reading with one sticky note using the prompts on the bookmark for ideas and inspiration. In class, the teacher conferences with students asking them about their reading and to share their most recent sticky note.
