No More Reading logs please



                 Are you tired of Reading logs?  Looking for a new way to hold kids accountable? 

                                                     Things to do in place of Reading Logs


1. Laminate the question cards and have kids pull one as a Do now, during independent reading time and even as a exit ticket to check to see if kids are reading and comprehending.
2. You can have them placed in a center of a poster and have kids do a discussion around a common text.- specified day
3. Have partnerships pull cards and pose questions to one another. - share time
4. You as the teacher can pull a question a day to have kids to respond to during whole group discussions or independent reading.
5. You can create centers with the cards as well. They will go well in the library, check them out on TPT mrseduc8te.
6. You can have students write long and strong over a prompt for a Formative grade.
7. Have kids do a task for a day in their journal from the Reading and Writing prompts
8. Have kids do one pagers.- Summative
9.. Have kids to book reviews- weekly
10. Have the create a test over the book with and answer key- Summative
11. Have a conference with students and use Bands of Text complexity to check understanding
12. Do a informal RR- designate so many students per day.
13. Have kids to complete a plot diagram if it is a Fiction Text
14. Have kids to complete a Nonfiction response activity
15. Have students do a Book swap and read each other's book and then they can come back together and both can share what they learned or understand from the books.
