- Early or fast finishers – allow students to do this when they are caught up on everything else
- Time fillers – make the most of those extra ten minutes by reading the article aloud and answering the questions as a whole group, in partners, or individually
- Test prep – many of the articles students will encounter are informational text (or nonfiction) so articles like this are a great way to prep
- Reading centers, stations, or rotations – These make a quick print and go, no prep center
