Reminding students to think!

I have a class full of above grade level readers this year.  They can decode anything!  Sometimes this can be a problem.  Often we forget that decoding doesn't necessarily me comprehending.  Even the best readers need to be reminded to think while reading.  This is one of my favorite strategies to model.  I made cards to hold up in my classroom to remind students to stop, think, and question during independent reading time.

These cards along with an included worksheet for students to write their thoughts and questions are available in my TpT store.
