reading timers

How do you keep track of learning time in reading rotations?

I use this really simple Google Slide template with built in timers displayed on the TV for students (and myself) to keep track of our learning and the time in reading lessons. It is a great way to build responsibility amongst everyone in the classroom and ensure we are all working hard.

I have 4 rotations in class which each last 15 minutes. I have a slide for each of those with instructions on what students should be doing (finding their board, crossing off their choice and getting started). In between each rotation there is a 1 minute tidy up timer to help students stay on task with tidying up and moving to their next one.
