Not sure where to start when it comes to creating a Reading Response Journal? This post shares my favorite tool to use!
This is perfect to hold kids accountable for the information they learn from a video. They have to write 3 facts they didn't already know, draw a picture that represents the information they learned, and describe their picture at the bottom. I usually grade this. Enjoy!
Reading response journals - what are they and how can they be used to enhance reading in upper elementary and middle school.
How do you survive divorce? There is no good answer. Daily journaling helps as you work through your range of emotions that change daily, if not hourly. This journal contains 72 pages of opportunity to reflect on self-preservation, closure, sharing, self discovery, gratefulness, plans for your future, and how you will go on to live a life worth living, all with a foundation in Biblical scripture. The journal's format is simple, yet will encourage deep introspection. You can approach this journal by printing all of the 8.5" x 11" pages and hand writing your reflections, or print only the pages that speak to you that particular day. You can even print the same page multiple times and provide different responses for different days. You can also use the digital journal on an electronic device and write in your reflections digitally. I can also send you a link to have the journal bound and printed by Canva for an additional cost of $34.50 paid to Canva. The journal is divided into the topics listed above, but there is no rule that you have to follow it in order. Use it in the manner that works best for you and how you need it to help you survive divorce.
A daily art project by Bonnie Sennott In 2016, I'm embroidering each day on linen using a color observed that day in my backyard in western Massachusetts. I'm stitching 12 separate pieces, one for each month, which I will stretch over canvases. The compositions are abstract and improvisational, determined as I go, using one color and one kind of embroidery stitch each day. The year's work will be rooted in the place where I live, and in the changing seasons. But, as an embodiment of my own inner response to outer reality, it will also have the personal quality of a journal.

This resource is a quick and easy way for students to reflect on what they have read, and to predict what they believe is going to happen next in their independent novel. This can be used alongside an independent novel study, where the students will keep track of their reading. It is also a great tool for students to build on their reading skills, ex: encouraging students to see how many pages they read a class and to try and increase their reading speed as the weeks progress.
Okay teacher friend. It’s finally here. And I’m so excited! I’ve had this resource collecting dust on my computer for years now.

Minimalist line art of a silhouette of Mary with shading behind the lines and the word fiat. This simple yet elegant and beautiful image is great for a gallery wall or as a featured image in your home. "Fiat" or "let it be done" was Mary's response to the Angel Gabriel's message that she would bear the Song of God, the Christ.

Welcome to The Reading Roundup! Here you will find reading lesson ideas for the classroom and for reading intervention with a focus on the Science of Reading.
In upper grade classrooms, students spend a great deal of time responding to the texts they read. Over the years I have found that no matter what grade level I teach, students have a difficult time writing thorough and meaningful reading responses. At the start of every year my students need quite a bit of guidance when writing their responses. One of the best ways that I have found to teach students to write meaningful responses is by providing them with sentence frames. I like to encourage students to follow three simple steps when writing reading responses, each with sentence frames and prompts to use: Step 1: What did you read? While reading... In chapter __ of... On page __ of... During today's reading of... Step 2: What happened in the text? Tell what a character said. Tell what a character did. Tell what a character thought, felt, or learned. Describe the setting. Describe an important event that occurred. Explain a problem that was encountered. Step 3: What did you think? This made me think... This made me realize... Based on this, I can infer... Based on this, I can predict... This reminded me of... I can relate to this because... I could visualize... I now understand... This three-step process encourages students to not only tell what happened in a text, but also reflect on what they thought or felt about what they read. Here is a sample response using these steps: I have included a FREE handout for you to share with your students to help guide them in writing thorough and meaningful reading responses. Click HERE download this FREEBIE. If you are looking for more resources for reading response, check out my Reading Response Journals for literature and non-fiction texts. These resources include anchor charts for different reading strategies and skills, as well as more specific sentence frames for the different skills. Click on the pics to learn more. Writing thoughtful reading responses is not always easy, but with a bit of guidance from using sentence frames and prompts, it will soon become second nature for students!!
