How to Use the Reading Organizer

  1. Predict First

    Show the cover and title. Students write what they think will happen in the Before I Read box.

  2. Stop and Wonder

    Pause partway through and have students write a question they have in the I Wonder column.

  3. Make a Connection

    Students write what the book reminds them of, from life or another book, in the middle column.

  4. Picture a Scene

    In the I Can Picture column, students describe or sketch one scene in their mind as you read it aloud.

  5. Retell and Check

    After reading, students retell what happened and tick one box to say if their prediction was right.
