QR Code Reading Comprehension Strategy Question Cubes
A set of QR code question cubes to use when working with reading comprehension strategies.
Using a free QR code reader, students can roll the cube and scan a code to reveal a reading comprehension strategy question.
The question cubesย include the followingย reading comprehension strategies:
- Making Connections
- Monitoring
- Visualizing
- Inferring/Predicting
- Questioning
- Summarizing
The download includes two versions โ one with inferring and one with predicting. The questions on the cubes are the same โ two different options have been provided as some teachers use the terminology predicting and some use inferring.
Use these question cubes when working with your guided reading groups or as a reading center activity to practice using all of the strategies.
