I had the pleasure of getting to review Ashley Schroeder's Reading Response Flip Flap Books- Common Core Aligned.  Ashely's pack comes with a bunch of great flip flap books for an easy and super quick reading comprehension check for the kiddos to use with any text, fiction or nonfiction.  Ashley was amazing and even labeled the books for how they are aligned to the Common Core: RL.2.1, RL.2.5, RL.2.7, R.I.2.2, RI.2.3, RI.2.6

She has gray chevron and black and white versions of the following:
Sequencing with first, next, etc.
Story ElementsMain Idea and Details
Sequencing the beginning, middle, and end.
Making Connections
Asking and Answering Questions
Retelling with somebody, wanted, but, so, then
Author's Purpose


Since we had bench mark testing, and a ton of assemblies, a long with a different schedule due to the older grades MCAS testing, we were only able to fit in one of the flap books, but I can't wait to use the rest of them!
We used the Sequencing Flip Flap books for our Daily 5 Read to Self books.  They used their Work on Writing time to work on the books.  I was with my group, so I had the literacy teacher snap some pictures!  The kids loved that it was a fun activity, yet it allowed for me to assess their sequencing skills and another way to ensure that they really were reading their books in Read to Self.  

I had the students write the Beginning, Middle, and End and then later had them go back and illustrate their sentences.  This was such a fun, quick, and easy assessment for my kids!  They loved creating the flaps by cutting the lines.  I also found a little nugget making their own during indoor recess out of construction paper!
