It is important for students to stop and think as they read. This activity/lesson is a fun and quick way to see how students are thinking as they read.
Students will be able to use sticky notes to record their thinking while reading and talk about their thinking with a partner.
Introduction
(5 minutes)
Pick a grade-appropriate book you that is familiar to the class-something you may have read a couple of times in class and is a quick read aloud (like No, David!). You will have already gone through the book and marked three pages with sticky notes using the symbols on the chart.
Tell students that you are going to read a story that is familiar to them, but this time you took notes to record your thinking while you read. And that is what they are going to do today: Use sticky notes to record their thoughts and feelings as they read, and then share these notes with a partner.
