Partner Reading Board

Here is a photograph of the partner reading board I have created. Each class has their names written on popsicle sticks, which we use for cold calling and other random choice activities in class. These sticks also are great to use for our partner reading board. Here's our interactive board, showing each reading partner group in each class!

The holders are actually just old envelopes that I sealed and cut in half. Then I glued them onto poster board to make a set of pockets. I have a variety of volunteers that help pass out the sticks and  I call each table up to the board to place their sticks in the envelopes. The top row indicates which phase of collaborative work we are in during class. Although this isn't used for all activities, it's great for reciprocal teaching or literature circles.
