How it's organized: The page opens with these directions: "Write a book in the first column each time the student reads one at grade level." Students then complete the practice items in order and check their work before turning it in.

How to use it: Assign it after a mini-lesson, use it in a small group, send it home as homework, keep it in your sub folder, or use it as a quick formative check.

Answer key: This page does not include a separate answer key.
