Stop, Swap and Roll Product Swap


I am so excited to be taking part in another product swap with Melissa at Jungle Learners!  Before I get started, I must apologize for getting this post up late.  My 20 year old son has epilepsy and suffered a grand mal seizure yesterday afternoon.  As a result of the seizure, he broke a vertebrae in his back.  We were at the ER from 4:30 PM yesterday until 6:30 AM this morning. So.. my Rafflecoptor for the prize won't work until tonight, but this product I am trying is so worth it!  Please stop by again to enter!

I swapped items with Stephanie from The Learning Chambers.


She has so many amazing things in her store, it was really hard to choose just one!  I finally decided to try out her Reading Response Flap Journal.

Reading Response Flap Journals
I used them with my reading groups and they were a big hit! My students LOVE flap books, and this was no exception.

I don't know about your class, but I have kiddos who are working on a wide variety of reading levels.  One thing that I absolutely love about this packet is that Stephanie has included two different versions, so you can differentiate to accommodate different levels!  This product is also versatile for if you have to change grade levels!


This is the version I used with my grade level and above students.

For my below grade level students, I used the version below.



The best part about the differentiation is that the covers are exactly the same, so my students don't know that other students have different versions!

I initially introduced the students to the booklets during our reading club time.  Then, I gave students new books to use with their independent reading.  I plan on using them throughout the year.  Being able to use a product all year round and with any book is a big bonus for me when I purchase items from TpT. 






Great news for you!  As part of the swap, Stephanie has this item on sale!  You also have the opportunity to win this product as well by entering the Rafflecoptor below!

    Oh no! I'm so sorry! Those are scary. My little brother had a few grand mal seizures when he was 6-8 but luckily has seemed to grow out of them. I hope your son is okay!

    I hope all is going better with your son. That is so scary!

    American Presidents Informational Texts - that would be the other product of Stephanie's that I would love to have.

    So sorry to hear about your son! I'll be keeping your family in my thoughts!

    As for the product, I've been trying to create a response booklet for ANY book. Looks like this one will save me a ton of time!

    I'd like either her Camping Stories--Reading Passages and Questions pack or her American President Informational Text pack.
