Reader Response {Freebies}

Happy Fall, Y'all!

My adorable pumpkins are falling in love with books.  That's one of my favorite parts of teaching 2nd grade - seeing my little guys discover their love of literature.  So here are a few freebies for reader response.

My students use these spinners, and they LOVE them!  All they need is a pencil and a paper clip to make the spinner.  I tell them to spin it and write the answer to the question in a notebook or on a piece of paper.  If they land on the same question more than once, I instruct them to simply spin again.
