Literature Circles: Reading & Comprehension Activity Booklet

This reading and comprehension booklet was created to hold students accountable during their literature circles. This 20 page booklet walks students through the whole process of reading literature, includes many different comprehension activities, and serves as a final project for your literature circle groups.

**Common Core Aligned for Reading Literature for grades 3-6!

The following topics are covered:
-Predictions
-Main Character
-Characters
-Setting
-Conflict
-Questioning
-Making Connections
-Visualization
-Climax
-Resolution
-Moral/Theme
-Vocabulary
-Summarization
-Recommendation

Included is a reading journal where students can record how much they have read each day can and write a brief paragraph summarizing what they’ve read.

In addition, I have included two rubrics to help with grading your literature circles. The first rubric is for students to evaluate themselves on their participation, effort, group work, and booklet. The second rubric is a teacher rubric so you can assess each student as well.

Tip: To save paper, I recommend pages be shrunk down and assembled into a pamphlet-sized booklet.

I hope you enjoy this product and happy teaching!
