No More Fake Reading – FREE Anchor Charts

3-5· PK-2

Fake reading is a problem that many students face today. Find out how you can help them by downloading the free fake reading anchor charts and printables from this article!

Real reading vs not really reading anchor charts and free printable. #teacherkarma #kindergarten #1stgrade #2ndgrade #3rdgrade #4thgrade #5thgrade #classroomfreebies

Over the years I have seen countless students that have a book in their hands but are really just pretending to read. 

If you’ve been teaching any time at all, I know you know exactly what I’m talking about. 

Have you seen any of these fake reading behaviors taking place in your classroom?

  • students holding a book, but staring at the ceiling
  • quietly looking around the classroom
  • not making connections while reading
  • continually getting up to ask a question
  • holding a book upside down (this actually happens)
  • playing around
  • reading the words without thinking
  • not trying their best
