SKU: 205993

This independent reading resource for second grade includes lesson plans and supplementary materials to support independent reading in your classroom!

These materials will help you teach routines and procedures for independent reading AND keep students engaged in independent reading throughout the school year!

These materials are flexible and can be used many different ways, regardless of how you structure independent work time in your classroom.

This resource is for you if you want to:
- Teach your students to stay on task during independent reading time
- Get your students to try out strategies on their own
- Incorporate simple, quick writing activities to hold students accountable
- Keep students interested in the independent reading center and your classroom library throughout the school year

This resource may not be for you if:
- You are looking for lots of reading response activities or worksheets (During independent reading time, my students spend much more time actually reading than they do writing about text. I keep reading response as a separate center. If you are interested in reading response activities, please learn more about my reading response pack !)

Here’s what’s included:
- 14 lesson plans to teach procedures and routines for independent reading and the independent reading center
