Fahrenheit 451 Part One Reading Quiz ("The Hearth and the Salamander")
I searched high and low for a basic, close reading test that would simply show me whether students did their outside-of-class reading of FAHRENHEIT 451, and I found that none existed that met my needs (detailed + easy to grade). I was not striving for higher order thinking...just a basic, Accelerated-Reader-type quiz that would demonstrate completion of the assigned reading. The higher order thinking questions come out after my students have completed the reading--through Socratic Seminar. Thu

THE HUNGER GAMES Close Reading Test, Chapters 1-9
I searched high and low for a basic, close reading test that would simply show me whether students did their outside-of-class reading of THE HUNGER GAMES, and I found that none existed that met my needs (detailed + easy to grade).
Thus, I made my own. I've created three 25-question, multiple-choice tests (Parts I, II, & III) to serve this purpose. To make a teacher's job easier, I've also included an answer key that includes the page number of the correct answer so you can defend the qu

Chpt/Chpt. summary of "Restart Lose memory find Your Life" by Gordon Korman
I am not an English Teacher! My grandsons is dyslexic and while extremely intelligent, struggles with reading and comprehending what is read. Audio books work great but do not encourage him to practice much needed reading skills. I researched and found several books that qualified for required book reports. I purchased and read them highlighting the important information. My grandson found the highlighting more distracting than helpful, so I typed up the materials in a dyslexic font. This

Who What Where When Listening For Details
I got the idea for these from another TPT user, however I have fine-tuned them quite a bit.
I currently have students on the autism spectrum that are unable to distinguish/answer simple WH questions. So I use these not only for IEP data but as practice and learning tools.
I read the sentence to the student, have them read them back, and then ask the following WH questions. I always write their immediate responses with no prompting. Then after each question is answered we go back and use color

Peer- and Self-Grading Rubric for Literature Circle / Book Club Groups
This is a simple but effective grading rubric for students who are participating in literature circles or book clubs.
My 6th grade language arts students absolutely love book club; the meetings are their favorite part of the week. However, I noticed that a few students would sometimes get off-task when I wasn't observing their group directly.
The solution? I wanted to hold them accountable to themselves and to their peers, so I created this rubric. At the end of a full book club cycle (3 we
