Over 1,900 five-star reviews and I am absolutely thrilled that this resource is helping so many elementary teachers get literature circles up and running in their classrooms!

Literature Circle Bookmarks!
This free resources includes color and black/white templates. You can also put them altogether on a ring, or pinned together with a brad, and students can keep them as a reference tool.
