These 64 Literature question cards (Lit Sparks) can be used with any book. They could be used in literature circles for discussions or as writing prompts for independent reading.
In addition to the cards, the questions are in list format at the end of the document. The cards will print great in color or in grayscale.
Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use them again and again. You could have students choose cards randomly or let them pick the ones they want. One fun way to store these cards is to punch a hole in one corner and put them on a ring.

I just got both your questions now - so glad that it worked! Computers are kind of goofy sometimes....

Hi,
I purchased the literature response question cards for any book but I can't get it to open. It keeps saying there is an error with this product that can't be fixed. Any ideas? Thank you.

Would these be good for GT 6th graders?
May 22, 2011
I think so...the questions are open-ended and most of them require some kind of critical thinking. Seems like your students could really dig deeply into them and have some terrific discussions rather than just answering with a sentence or two.

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:

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:
