This set of 7 editable rubrics was designed to assess (formatively and/or summatively) the work students were doing in their reading response journals. Rubrics include: Determining Importance, Connections, Inferences, Questioning, Story Elements, Visualizing, and Summarizing. Created using the Common Core standards.

Tired of traditional reading logs? Here is a different style to consider that incorporates choice and a variety of reading and writing tasks. This editable resource has monthly-themed challenges for students to complete. You decide the requirements, the incentives, and how many boxes they may complete.

Here's a differentiated way to get students focused on the Common Core reading standards, with choice built in! Bingo Board 1 is designed for more struggling learners, as it has less complex vocabulary and sentence starters.

Using this, students gain some guided independence when deciding on a solving strategy. This bookmark gives them lots of options: number line, drawing groups, skip counting, bar diagram, array, etc. It can also be used as a periodic formative assessment! When folded, one side is blank and the other provides an examp

This extension menu was created to allow student choice when meeting Maine's Learning Results in the area of economics. This menu has choices to appeal to every learner-visual, auditory, read/write, kinesthetic. It was originally designed for Chapter 104 students but I've had success with other students as well.

This editable reading log helps teachers and families ensure students are reading at home!
