50 pages of Reader's Response Template {FREEBIES}!

Happy Friday friends!!! I'm so glad it's Friday night and the weekend again, aren't you?!?!  This week has been kinda brutal, but I've still got my smile on so we're good!  As I previously mentioned I'm "kinda" obsessed with Thinking Maps.  Since my training three years ago, I still write my grocery list in a Tree Map sorted by aisles...hehe :)  I don't think the hubs has still figured that out though! :)

So, after the HUGE response for the behavior management Thinking Maps we created last week I knew we had to make some Reader's Response maps for our FAB followers.  What I've really noticed with my students this year is that they are very fluent and accurate readers with lots of decoding strategies, but they are lacking in comprehension. 

Here's a student in Beth's class working on the skill of questioning using one of the templates on her Smartboard.

We've been working in Reader's Notebooks (more on that another day), but I was finding that they struggled with actually drawing some of the maps still.  What I have for you this evening is 50 pages of Reader's Response Thinking Maps templates {FREE}!  The comprehension strategies I focused on were: making connections, visualizing, inferring, predicting, summarizing/retelling, and questioning.  Even if you don't use Thinking Maps in your classroom, they are simple enough to use in a reading mini lesson on the Smartboard, in a strategy based guided reading lesson, or just as a comprehension building activity.  I hope you LOVE them as much as my kiddos did and I hope they are helpful to you in your classroom!
