Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Record text connections while reading, using the 'I connect…' prompt.
Make and record predictions about the text using the 'I predict…' prompt.
Visualize story details in writing using the 'I picture…' prompt.
Teaching tips
Assign one template page per book or one page per chapter, since most pages include a blank for both fields.
Use the blank-prompt template variants (without pre-printed sentence starters) for stronger writers or open-ended responses, and the prompted variants for students who need scaffolding.
Print single pages for independent reading response, or use a page during small-group conferring or book-club discussion.
Skills covered
Making text connections — students record personal, textual, or world connections using the 'I connect…' prompt across all four template sets.
Predicting — students record predictions about plot or character using the 'I predict…' prompt.
Visualizing — students describe mental images formed while reading using the 'I picture…' prompt.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Do the four template sets (Stop & Jot, Respond, Thoughts?, Tell Me 'Bout It) use different prompts, or the same ones in new designs?
The same six response prompts — connect, predict, picture, enjoyed, wonder, surprised — repeat across all four sets; each set is a different page layout and title, letting the visual design rotate throughout the year.
