Reading Comprehension Skills Fan

Give students a handy, interactive reference for 12 essential reading comprehension skills with this printable Reading Comprehension Skills Fan! Designed so students can work independently during group time, with interrupting you with questions. This is a collection of mini anchor charts or posters, on an easy-to-assemble fan. It provides clear, student-friendly explanations to help learners recall and apply comprehension strategies. Students can keep their fans on their desks or in folders, ready to flick through whenever they need a quick reminder.

Easy to Assemble Students can make them! Print the required blades, cut them out and secure them together with a split pin (brad). Students can help assemble their own fans, and additional blades can be added as new skills are introduced. I found that when students were assembling the fan, they were also reading and discussing the information: they felt ownership and used regularly. A practical, engaging alternative to traditional anchor charts — giving students the comprehension reminders they need, right at their fingertips!
