These can also be used for test prep, homework, small group instruction, and independent writing practice. Use the 23 Google slides to model skills for the whole class.

My own students are absolutely in love with these bookmarks. We recently completed the Show, Don't Tell bookmark since that is a skill so many kids struggle with. When coupled with the Tell Me A Great Story bookmark and Google Slide as a reminder how sensory details can bring a story to life, the kids were excited to get down to writing. And their stories actually turned out really good with a lot of variety to them.

My own students are absolutely in love with these bookmarks. They found it fun to complete the different bookmarks and couldn’t wait to get their hands on the Visualize bookmark. They literally begged me to do them again. As a teacher, I loved that I could be strategic with who received which bookmark. My students who were still learning English focused on acquiring new words, while my strong readers searched for figurative language. We’ve used them with novels during silent reading time, a short story from our ELA curriculum, and online news articles. I don’t think they realize just how much critical thinking and close reading they are doing. To them, they’re just having fun!
