Reading Circles

Through using reading circles, students learn to take responsibility for their own learning. This is reflected in how effectively they make choices and take ownership of their reading circle group. They quickly take charge of their own discussions; hold each other accountable for their individual reading and how they carry out their role.
Artful Artist: Draw anything about this story that you liked.
Word Wizard: Look for special words in the story (at least two).
Story Connector: Find connections between the story and your life (text to self, text to text and text to others).
Reteller: Retell the story in your own words. Include three main events that happened.
Character Captain: Who is the main character? What does the main character do in the story? What about the other characters?
Discussion Director: Write down some questions you would like to discuss with your group (at least two).
When children engage with texts and one another in these ways, they take control of their literacy learning in positive, rewarding ways.
