Student Feedback Flipbook | Nonverbal Check-In Tool to Check for Understanding

Wondering who’s feeling confident, who’s just getting by, and who’s completely stuck during independent work time? If you’ve ever scanned the room and thought, “I have no idea who actually needs me right now”, then this resource is for you.

Please check out the PREVIEW here.

The Check-In Flipbook gives students a simple, nonverbal way to show how they’re going while they work. With just a quick flip, you can instantly see who’s confident, who might need a check-in, and who needs your support - without a single hand raised.

How It Works:

Each student keeps a flipbook on their table. As they work, you prompt them to reflect using the phrase “Flip it to show it!”
They then flip to one of three pages:

• 💗 I’ve Got This – feeling confident and on task
• 💛 I’m Getting There – still working it out
• 💙 I Need Help – stuck and unsure what to do next

With a quick glance, you’ll know exactly who needs support - so you can check in with the right students at the right time.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Removes the guesswork from student check-ins
• Helps students self-reflect on their learning
• Minimises interruptions during independent work
• Supports quieter students who may not speak up
• Encourages a calm, supportive classroom culture

What’s Included:

• 4-part student flipbook (multiple wording options)
• Matching hand signal posters for whole-class check-ins
• Editable version to customise colours or phrases
• Easy-to-follow assembly instructions

Low-Prep and Easy to Implement:

Print one per student, laminate for durability, punch a hole, and fasten with a ring. That’s it! Use it at desks, during floor time, or small group sessions - this tool is flexible enough for any classroom routine.
