We want to help our students discover the joys of reading. We also need to track their progress as readers. We can’t do both if we only throw worksheets at them after each chapter they read or just give them a quiz to check their comprehension. Kelly Gallagher has discussed this very dilemma in his popular book Readicide. We can systematically kill the love of reading in our students by giving them a binder full of worksheets to be completed after reading.
Besides literature circles where students can have real world conversations, there can be other ways to check our students’ understanding of what they have been reading.
