Suggestions for Use: This resource was created as a way to incorporate more of Bloom's language and questioning into day to day classroom discussions. In my classroom, we always have a read aloud for the week, whether it's from our reading adoption (Reading Street) or a trade book. I use the shirt template below to teach the levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. Then, I have a student choose a button from my button jar that corresponds to a level of Bloom’s Taxonomy. I utilize a great deal of Whole Brain in my classroom, so I generally say… “Button Break” (clap,clap), and they respond with “okay” (clap, clap). They then, turn knee to knee with a buddy to discuss the question they were just given.

I also utilize the Bloom’s Buttons during guided reading to ensure that all levels of Blooms are being incorporated during our book talks. There are forms provided at the end of this resource for students to record their answers on. I like to use these forms for both guided reading and during stations. They will need to color the button the appropriate color and write the level of Blooms on the dotted line. Then, they can answer the questions on the lines provided.

The following pages contain black and white button cards. These button cards could be used for individual students or groups of students. They could even be sent home with students to practice with their library books. Simply have students color in their own buttons the appropriate colors. To make a smaller set for at home practice, you could print multiple pages, which would allow you to use less paper. I like to print 2 pages per page.
