Editable Reading Guide for Class Novels and Independent Reading

These activities are sure winners and they’re better than reading logs. Paper & digital options included.

Students will:
✅ Remember
✅ Understand
✅ Analyze
✅ Create

Each category has a range of proposed activities for independent reading or class novels, and this resource is 100% editable if you want to change things up.

This guide is also perfect for literature circles and book clubs!

Here are some examples of editable reading guide prompts:
✅ List and describe the new characters introduced in this section.
✅ Summarize this section in a well-developed paragraph.
✅ Analyze one symbol in this section and explain its significance in the novel.
✅ Illustrate a scene from this section in the style of a graphic novel or comic book.

Over the course of the novel, students will have to complete all of the prompts, so you don’t have to worry about them only picking the “easy” choices on the choice board. 

Instead, they get the student choice needed to work at their own pace. It will feel “doable” to even your most reluctant readers.
