I made extras so I could use it for Kagan's Fan and Pick structure as table groups, too.

Reading Group Idea
So my question has always been, "What do I do with those high readers?" I still want to meet with them at least once a week, but their books are long and I always feel pressured to spend more time with my struggling readers. So here's what I have come up with. I have a group of 5 readers who are already reading past where they need to be at the end of 1st grade. I give them a book to put in their book box to read during Daily 5. On Thursday or Friday, I meet with them and we talk about the book using my "Quiz Me Can". It is a crystal light container that I wrapped paper around. Then, I printed questions on labels and cut them to fit a jumbo popsicle stick. They just love the idea of getting to pick a question.

I LOVE this idea and think it will be great for many of my readers. Thank you SOOOOO much for sharing it with us. I do have one question...you mentioned you printed the questions on labels and I am wondering if they are return address labels or something like that? Thanks again or sharing, it's GREAT!!
Love your ideas! Your blog is fabulous! I hope to create one someday!
This post was just shared again as a reminder for the Helping Struggling Readers Linky Party. I just saw it for the first time and ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Popsicle stick idea! I have the same problem with my high kiddos. I feel like I'm short-changing them! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing these on google docs. It is so great, and I can't wait to return to the states this summer and stock up on some large popsicle sticks to get this project going for next year. Laminated paper works great, but kids love popsicle sticks; maybe it makes them think of ice cream!
Thanks for sharing these. I have been looking for a way to challenge my high kids during groups.
Thank you, thank you! In my second year teaching and differentiating for those high readers has been a struggle. This is awesome!
