Free Literacy Blooms Reading Is Thinking™ Bookmarks
Turn Every Reading Moment into a Thinking Moment
The Literacy Blooms Reading Is Thinking™ Bookmarks are more than place holders for books—they are powerful conversation starters designed to help children become active, engaged, and thoughtful readers.

Available in English and Spanish, these colorful bookmarks provide simple prompts that encourage learners to think deeply about what they read while strengthening the essential skills that support lifelong literacy success.
Why These Bookmarks Matter
Strong readers do more than recognize words—they think about them.
Research and evidence-promoted literacy practices show that comprehension grows when learners actively interact with text. These bookmarks help children practice the same thinking strategies skilled readers use every day:

- Visualize – Create mental pictures while reading.
- Connect – Link new learning to personal experiences and prior knowledge.
- Infer – Draw conclusions using clues and evidence from the text.
- Question – Develop curiosity and critical-thinking skills.
- Summarize – Identify the most important ideas.
- Predict – Anticipate what may happen next and support predictions with reasoning.
Perfect For
- Families and Caregivers
- Teachers and Homeshool Educators
- Tutors and Literacy Coaches
- Childcare Providers
- Community Literacy Coaches
- Reading Volunteers and Advocates
Easy to Use
Simply place the bookmark inside any book and use one or two prompts before, during, or after reading. These quick conversations help learners:
- Build vocabulary
- Strengthen comprehension
- Develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills
- Increase confidence as readers
- Practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing
Literacy Blooms bookmarks make it easy to transform everyday reading into meaningful learning—without adding extra lessons, worksheets, or clock hours.
