This resource has been updated and there are now 22 bookmarks!
Most of these bookmarks are meant to be written on and are a great way to get motivate hard-to-reach students to respond to literature. Completing several bite-sized bookmarks may be more appealing to many students than doing a worksheet.
You could use several together or one type repeatedly. One option is to assign a specific number of bookmarks, but let the students choose which ones they want to complete. They are also great for more casual reading, when you want some accountability but are not doing a full-on unit.
Students can fill in the blanks as they find the appropriate information in the book. Students can use the backs for their names and extra information.
You may want to use the "I Read Ten Books" book mark as a reward. There are also three fun book marks, each with a great kid-friendly quote about reading that could be used for rewards or just for fun.
These will print out great in color, but will also work fine in grayscale. There are four of the same book mark to a page with guidelines for easy cutting - since the whole page is used, just 3 cuts is all you need, with no wasted paper.

I love these and more importantly my kiddos love them! Also, the bookmark size keeps the task from seeming overwhelming to some of my struggling readers.

I love these. I can use them with any of my guided reading groups. They are short, quick and to the point answers for the students, and easy for me to tell if they are understanding what we're reading.
Great product!!!

Super cool! Very reasonably priced for 17 quality bookmarks. My students love their "bookmark assignments" and the number of students completing assignments has soared over traditional "reader's notebooks". One of my best purchases from TpT...honestly. Will follow this teacher-author.

Wow, that is about the nicest comment I have ever received, thanks! I'm so glad that the bookmarks are working for you!

Help
I would love to use these bookmarks in my classroom! It is possible to get them in Word format so I can make changes to meet the needs of my students?
Thanks,

Hi Nicole,
I used to have them in both Word and PDF but I have been doing less of that lately. If you buy the product and send me a note at reallyrachel@gmail.com with your TpT user name, I will send you the word version.

My passion is creating high quality, ready-to-use teaching resources. I believe our future depends on our children being able to think creatively and critically, so I incorporate higher level thinking skills into almost everything I create.
Most of my experience is in gifted education grades 1-4. But I have also taught regular education to all elementary grade levels. I've taught workshops on writing and have had extensive experience teaching elementary science as well as technology.
I have also written a series of 6 creative and critical thinking books for Evan-Moor as well as several other books of teacher materials.
In addition, I am a published author of over 100 nonfiction books for children on a variety of subjects.
You can see the books I've written here:
My Books
I am also the author of several blogs:
Minds in Bloom
(FacilitatingCreative and Critical Thinking Skills)
"Quotes" for Teachers
(An organized collection of quotes to use in your classroom)
I am also an administrator on:
"Tchr2Tchr
(Articles, contests, and Linky Parties from TpT sellers)
And of course there is also Facebook and Twitter
