I'm going to share with you just a few quick examples of how I used these flip flap books in my classroom last year. The kids were just craving something new and exciting, and this simple spin on a typical respond to reading activity was such a hit! Their work was AWESOME, too!
Here are a few of my favorite go-tos in my classroom!
The best part is is that they are SO easy to use and the kids don't even realize that their comprehension is being tested!
The kiddos just fold their flip flap resources in half and cut the top flaps open to be able to record their main idea and details of what they read. There is a spot on the back of the flip flap book for their name, the title of the text, and directions for making the book.
I've included several pictures below of the kiddos in action with their reading response flip flap books!
I have the students record their answer on the inside part of each flap and draw a matching illustration for the answers on the right side of the flap.
Each student recorded and illustrated the main idea under the first flap. Then, they recorded and illustrated the 3 corresponding and supporting details under the remaining three flaps using text evidence from the selection that they've read.
These reading response flip flap books have been such an easy yet SUPER effective go-to in my classroom. Plus, there is such a variety of skills to practice and/or assess while using them!
