7th Grade Close Reading Guided Reading Books

“ Kids really got into using these…great reinforcement.”

These tracking bookmarks will have each student highly engaged with their silent reading books. Whether you want to enrich vocabulary, hi-light the study of literary devices, or zone in on flavorful idioms, these three bookmark trackers allow students to see these elements in their self selected re@ding materials.

Included as well, is a book selection card which is designed to be used with the Accelerated Reading program. These cards completely solved the problem of students not having something to read. It was mandatory in my classroom that students have a silent reading book at all times. If they were nearing the end of a book these cards were a lifesaver I could at my leisure hand pick a book for my own classroom library and have it on their desk ready to read!

The PDF file is organized so that the bookmarks may be copied back to back and folded lengthwise as they will be keeping them in their books until they are completed. If they complete the bookmark before the end of the novel, then they may have a second bookmark. Every new book starts with a fresh tracker!

Bookmarks can be completed and turned in for a reward or bonus points. Some students are just excited to spot classroom topics in their own books. Many will share their unique findings with the teacher and their classmates! Tons of students used multiple trackers, and it WAS NOT REQUIRED!
