Can elementary students Book Talk? YES!!

If you are looking for a mini lesson with support to begin book talks in your elementary classroom or library here is the steps and support in this product:

(I also printed this on a poster printer have big for my Book Talk Mini Lesson. I then printed in regular handout size for my students to write on. I explained to my elementary students that when you begin to book talk about your favorite reads it is very helpful to first start out by getting your thoughts down on paper. Later as we get better we will no longer have to write our thoughts down.)

This is another fun way to allow our students to write their thoughts down about their book in order to practice their book talk before they present it orally.
Page 5: Book Talk Prompting Cards
These prompting cards can remind your students the steps to create their book talk. They could be laminated and put on a ring to help them as they are creating their book talks. They could also be laminated and put in a literacy notebook to pull out as they need support.
