Ways to Use Post-Its and Flags with Second Grade Readers

Second graders love to use materials they consider to be more for grown-ups, which is why they enjoy marking places in the books they read with Post-Its and colored sticky flags.  Here are some of the ways teachers have found to use them:

·        Where you have a question

·        A part you would like to come back to and talk about

·        A favorite line

·        A part you could really get a good picture of

·        Where it reminds you of another book (T – T)

·        Where it reminds you something in your life (T- S)

·        Where you could really feel the story

·        A very important part

·        A place that helps you predict

·        A part that makes you wonder

·        A special part with interesting language

·        Vocabulary that you don’t understand

·        A part you don’t like or believe

·        A part that you thought was funny
