How Should I Use These Bookmarks?

One of the best ways to support children's academic and emotional development is through active reading. This bookmark set is a great tool for adults or independent children to be able to implement while reading to think actively during the process. 

Implementation ideas:

• Using 5 Strategies for Active Reading Bookmark, adults can have prompts for every page, including sentence examples, that will help support children's emotional intelligence.
• At upper-grade levels, children can use the 5 Independent, Higher-order Active Reading Prompts Bookmark in order to process and think critically about the books they've just read.
• 27 Picture Books About Emotion Bookmark can be used as a checklist! Cross out the books, as you read them.
• 1000 Books Before Kinder is a great way for adults to help kids feel accomplished. As you read books, write them down. When the list is full, hang it up on the wall, and celebrate! Great cost-free celebrations can be letting a child choose what game to play, or what movie to watch. 
• The 4 Basic Emotions Bookmark is a great way for young kids to visualize and compare emotions they see in their picture books with Hemmy and Shemmy's expressions. It can help them recognize the signs of emotions, at their fingertips!
• Feelings Thermometer Bookmark is a great way for kids to point and begin to compare, contrast, and understand the emotions and feelings of the characters in their books. Maybe they might notice Hemmy feels ginormous emotions when he gets into an argument with dad, but as he breathes, and talks to dad, the feelings get smaller.
