The questions or activities can be posted on the paper or on the wall. Each station should have enough squares for all of the class to record their answer.

The questions can be glued to butcher paper. Students can travel around the classroom to 3 or 4 stations answering questions about the book. Pairs or groups of students can also complete more complex activities. It is always a better learning experience if books are discussed in pairs or in groups, in my opinion. They could be useful laminated and in a literacy center. The book can be read aloud and selected activities done in class. Small groups could be working on different activities at the same time. They could also be used as homework, with guided groups, or with book groups. These activities can be used for individual, small group, for whole class.
