Reading Response Journals Bundle

Description

This is a bundled set of differentiated Reading Response Journals 1-4, plus a BONUS Nonfiction Reading Response Journal. Each reading journal corresponds to student reading levels ranging from DRA A-28 (Guided Reading Levels A-M) and can be used all year long for checking and practicing reading comprehension. Students move from one response journal to the next as their independent reading level changes. Use single pages or create packets and students can work on them independently after reading each book. They can also be used as a center, for guided reading, homework or even an early finisher activity (perfect for when you’re doing assessments and you need the rest of the class to be quietly working). These response journals are ideal for any teacher working with students reading at a wide range of reading levels.

Each journal comes as a separate document and is in black and white for easy printing. Included in the Bundled set is a digital version for students to use on Google Classroom.

• Reading Journal 1 (DRA Levels A-6 or Guided Reading A, B, C, D) response portion is 1 page and consists of book title, date, drawing and book rating.

What other teachers are saying about this Reading Response Journal Bundle:

• Extremely satisfied–I love this for my students! I keep a set of different levels so I can easily differentiate for my different students. It allows me to see that they are reading and engaging in their independent reading.
• Extremely satisfied–Great resource to use during guided reading or to send home to complete as homework with independent reading books. Students enjoy completing these and it helps them to connect to a variety of skills, including practice developing written responses.
• Extremely satisfied–I love that I can differentiate this and use it with my super high kids all the way to my struggling students. This is a great resource that allows my students to read and record what they read without coming to me after every book that they’ve finished. It allows me to see whether or not they actually understood what they read and move them up to the next level as they show that they’ve mastered that skill and activity.
• Extremely satisfied–This allowed for my students to read what they wanted and also kept them accountable without being able to conference with them. It was great to have them use a book of choice and record their thinking.
• Extremely satisfied–These are so great. I love the different levels so I can differentiate within this activity. They are also great because I’m moving grade levels and can still use them!!
