Reading Role Bookmarks

These engaging reading role bookmarks are designed to support purposeful talk and deeper thinking during group or whole-class reading. Aimed at Year 2/3 pupils, each bookmark gives children a clear role to take on, helping them stay focused and actively involved in discussions.

The set includes 5 roles:

Summariser
Predictor
Questioner
The Boss
Clarifier

Each bookmark outlines role expectations and provides helpful sentence stems, example questions and a “top tip” to guide pupils in carrying out their role effectively. This structure supports children in knowing how to contribute meaningfully to their group.

Perfect for guided reading sessions, book talk, or whole-class reading, these bookmarks encourage collaboration, comprehension and confident speaking and listening.
