Just wondering if anyone has any good ideas for post- reading activities to do with my kids after I read a book aloud with them. I am teaching grades 6 and 7, but many of my students are struggling or "non-readers," and many are sped kids.

Thanks in advance.

Any recommendations for ideas for texts or resources to read aloud, as well as places to find items such as non- fiction articles online, would also be much appreciated.

Teri If you're looking for a daily activity--to see if they are following along as you read--I usually have my students create cartoon summaries. Stick figure drawings are fine; they sketch out the action and add thought or conversation bubbles and maybe one sentence for each cartoon square they draw.
