Here’s what teachers just like you are saying about this resource:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lisa K. says, “This was hands down my best purchase from tpt this year. My students loved it and it helped me make independent reading block much more meaningful. The variety of activities are extensive and full of engaging book response activities. I generally had students fill out one a week after explaining them on Monday. I offered about 4 choices a week and on Friday we did a gallery walk before they handed in book activities and it was great to see them reading, discussing and exchanging books afterwards.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Carrie Y. says, “Absolutely love this resource for my book clubs. My students love the creativity they think they are getting with this resource, but it is just me testing their knowledge of the book and comprehension of what they have read. I have recommended this resource to several teammates.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ School and the City says, “I ove this resource! There are tons of options that are engaging, rigorous, and able to be used with any text. I have used them as options for early finishers and love being able to give students choices. I've also included some options in my emergency sub plans. The options are endless, and now digital too! Thanks so much for your hard work. ”
