Now on to the freebies!
These are some of our favorite quick comprehension activities that we use! We use them during guided reading and also during shared reading activities! We usually have the kiddos work in pairs and take turns spinning and asking each other questions about the story. We also like to do this activity with our one on one guided reading groups. When we do this we alternate between the kiddo spinning and answering questions about the book and also the kiddo spinning and asking US the questions. They love being the teacher to their teacher! It is still a great comprehension activity because they have to check and make sure that we are answering the questions correctly!
All you need is the paper, a paper clip, and a pencil. Put the paper clip in the middle of the paper, use the pencil tip to hold it in place, and voila, instant spinner!
There are 3 slightly different versions included!
