Tops and Bottoms Book Companion Interactive Read Aloud RL3.2 3.3 3.4 3.6 3.7

Increase student engagement and depth of knowledge during interactive read alouds with Think, Jot, Share booklets. This resource makes it easy for you to plan, implement, and manage your standards-based read aloud focus using the rigorous questions provided.

Using correlating pages for the student booklet requires mandatory engagement of ALL students as they think, jot, and share their thoughts throughout the read aloud. Just select the questions, print, and go. Mark your read aloud book with pre-printed sticky notes or bookmarks (your choice) and you're ready for your read aloud lesson.

You can also repurpose the read aloud for multiple lessons using other questions with a different standard focus. These booklets are also wonderful for formative assessments to help plan further instruction accordingly. In addition to the questioning guide, student booklets, and guides for planning, implementing, and managing, this resource includes a variety of comprehension activities that target-

• recounting & sequencing the story (two versions to choose from to differentiate instruction)
• character analysis (two versions to choose from to differentiate instruction)
• cause and effect (two versions to choose from to differentiate instruction)
• vocabulary skills (application of words)
• point of view/perspective
• determining the central message of the story (guiding questions assist students' practice and success)

Can be used for 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade students.

☕ Think, Jot, Share procedure poster is included and well as very detailed directions and suggestions for implementing this resource and increasing your student engagement.
