Stellaluna Activities Book Companion Response to Reading Comprehension RL3.6

Take interactive read aloud time to a whole new level by increasing student engagement and comprehension using Think, Jot, Share booklets and activities. This comprehensive resource makes it easy for you to plan, implement, and manage your read aloud focus using the rigorous standards-based questions & activities provided.

The correlating pages of the Think, Jot, Share booklets require mandatory engagement of ALL students as they think about the questions posed, jot their responses, and share their ideas with peers throughout the read aloud. Just select the questions that meet the instructional focus of your lesson, print, and go. Mark your read aloud book with pre-printed sticky notes or bookmarks (your choice) and you're ready to engage your students in meaningful, focused conversations about...

• the characters (traits, feelings, motives, response to events, or how their actions influence events)
• the theme or message of the story
• important vocabulary, figurative language, or author's word choice
• characters' points of view / perspective
• how the illustrations contribute to the meaning of the text

As stated above, you can repurpose this read aloud for multiple lessons using other questions with a different standard focus. These student booklets are also wonderful formative assessments to help monitor student understanding and plan further instruction accordingly. ❤️Questions and activities are also great for scaffolding or differentiating instruction.❤️
