"Oh my goodness, this is a fabulous resource. Lots of my kiddos have already completed their first Book Talk Slide. They also used Flipgrid to record a 2-minute video of themselves telling about the book they read and I am compiling the slides and video clips into a presentation that I will share with the class once everyone has submitted their book talk. Thank you!!!"

Great Tool to Encourage More Reading - Peer to Peer

Met expectations
Great value
I love using these activities to motivate and encourage more reading in my classroom! Students can self-select to complete one of these after they finish a book (any level book). When complete and turned in they earn points to use in our class points store - and they have time to share their review with the rest of the class.

This is a nice resource. I do wish I could customize it a bit more. I had to make up some sections on my own and label them for the students.

This has been fantastic to give to my small reading clubs. They are always eager to use these. It gives every student the possibility to engage in the best way they can. It also gives them accountability. Thanks!
