to the teacher • One-Pager •  I put together this one-pager in

response to families asking how

they could help their students to

become better readers.

•  I place the one-pager in their

take home binders for them to

refer to throughout the year

• Posters

•  There are two sets of posters,

one in black and white (to save

ink) and the other in color.

•  I hang these posters in my

classroom as reminders for

students and for them to use

while completing their reader’s

response entries. ©2014TeachingInTheFastLaneLLC4
