CAFE Bookmarks FREEBIE!

Last year I used these bookmarks with my guided reading groups. Once we established goals, the students put their sticky note under the C,A,F or E and they filled out their bookmarks. We filled out the bookmarks together, first circling our goal and then using the CAFE menu  to find strategies we can use to meet that goal.

For example, my accuracy group would circle A-Accuracy and then I guided them through the strategies part. I reminded them not to write all the strategies down from the menu but to pick 2 or 3 that they actually use. "Flip the vowel" and "cross check" were some of these most popular strategies for my struggling decoders.

I freshened up my bookmarks with some colorful DJ inkers graphics and some graphics from The 3 AM teacher. I've also included some black and white bookmarks that you can run on cardstock.

I've had some trouble with google docs. If you cannot access the file, please let me know!



Smiles!
