FREE "I Pick" Reading Strategy Poster Set

Recently I was really inspired by the I PICK acronym to help students select "Good Fit" books:

I - I Choose a Book

P - Purpose (Why do I want to read it?)

I - Interest (Does it interest me?)

C - Comprehend (Do I understand what I'm reading?)

K - Know (Do I know most of the words?)

 So I created this power point / poster set for our bulletin board.  I added some animal print touches to match my safari classroom theme, but if you decide to download it I've left it in Power Point format so you can adjust it anyway you like.  :-)

Just click on the picture above to head over to my blog to check it out!
