Deepening reading comprehension skills
Getting middle schoolers to infer meaning from a text often requires targeted questioning. You can upgrade your literature circles by introducing a randomized prompt generator to guide their discussions. After reading a chapter, project the wheel and let a student spin to select a deep-thinking question. The group must then pull specific textual evidence to support the conclusion they draw about the characters or plot.
Breaking away from standard reading worksheets encourages more authentic conversations among peers. The platform handles everything directly in the browser via local storage, meaning you maintain complete privacy over your classroom activities. You can easily import your custom lists of book-specific questions from a spreadsheet and assign them to any of your 10 slots for different reading groups.
