Description
These differentiated reading comprehension responses, in both printables and digital, work with any book and will encourage your students to review and reflect on their reading material in imaginative and creative ways!
The activities are differentiated into a total of 24 activities: 12 brief and 12 more extended tasks (making them suitable for a variety of grades and ability levels) and are self-explanatory for students to complete meaning no preparation needed from you! Students could select their own tasks or they can be chosen for them as a class activity. These would also make great homework tasks too if you’re ever stuck for ideas!

• "What’s Happening?" - summarize the book at regular intervals of reading.
