Oral Reading Strategies

Reading is thinking! Post it cues anchor chart

I love using anchor charts to teach reading strategies and skills. These mini charts are the perfect resource to give to students during their independent reading time. There are 40 mini charts and will remind students to use all the strategies you've taught them. I love the idea of using these during reading conferences or small group instruction as well.

Oral Reading Instructional Strategies

Support students’ reading comprehension with this visual guide to essential strategies. Ideal for K–5 classrooms, reading workshop, guided reading groups, and intervention settings. Helps students become active, thoughtful readers.

Teaching reading strategies is a breeze with reading strategy graphic organizers! Use the research based worksheets as supports for reading strategy instruction in guided reading, reader response to a read aloud, or independent reading accountability. Reading strategy posters and activity ideas for students are also included. Reading strategies targeted are visualizing, making predictions, making inferences, synthesizing, drawing conclusions, asking questions, and using background knowledge.
