Type the title of the book your class is reading and every activity rewrites itself around it. Spin the wheel for a single task, or play a 3×3 reading choice board where every row, column and diagonal mixes different skills. It’s free, works with any novel or picture book, and nothing your students type leaves the page.
How teachers use it
- Independent reading: students type their own book, pick three in a row and get going. Early finishers can spin for one more.
- Literature circles: lock one board for the class novel, copy the class link and every group works from the same nine activities.
- Before, during and after: filter the activities to the stage your class is at, so prediction tasks come before reading and reflection tasks after.
- Print a class set: one board per student with name and date lines, plus a page of activity cards to cut out for your reading corner.
- Whole-class warm-up: project the wheel, press Space to spin and run the built-in timer while students start the task.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes. The Reading Choice Board is completely free to use, print and share with your class.
Do students need to sign up?
No. There are no accounts or logins. Students open the page (or your class link) and start straight away.
Which ages is it for?
It has four age bands: 5–7, 8–10, 11–14 and 15–18. Each band has its own activities and wording, so younger readers get short, simple instructions and older students get more demanding analysis.
Does it work with any book?
Yes. Every activity is written to work with any fiction book, and the book title you type flows into the instructions. Teachers can also show only the activities that suit non-fiction.
Does it work on a projector or interactive whiteboard?
Yes. Teacher mode has a projector view with a large wheel or board, a high-contrast light or dark theme and a countdown timer with a gentle chime.
Is student information private?
Yes. Everything runs in the browser. No names are collected, nothing is uploaded and there is no tracking. Class links carry your settings inside the link itself.
