Reading Circle Bookmarks

The bookmarks are a result of unpacking Dr Margaret Merga’s book “Reading Engagement for Tweens and Teens”.

Early in the book she talks about the types of influences that impact on teen reading engagement or the “will to read”. The Reading Circle format at our school is part of encouraging a shared social habit in reading and encouraging students to talk about what they do and don't like in a novel. But that can only happen when we model good social engagement habits.

We hold our Reading Circles twice a term and in between reading circles we do reading conversations/observations to find out what students are reading and how they are tracking.

Bookmarks were made in Canva to try and focus the students when we do Reading Circles.
