First Grade – Reading Response Journal

First grade parents,

Starting tomorrow your child will be coming home with a reading response journal. The journal should be kept in their reading bag along with their books and sight word sticker book.  There will be a  prompt provided to your child when we meet during small group and will be labeled with the date and title of the book. The students will answer the response question and draw a picture to accompany their response (if they would like). Ideally, we would love all responses to be completed that night so we can discuss it the next day in our reading groups but I understand that is not always possible.

 

Sample response questions:

-did you like this book? Why or why not?

-Make a connection to the story (what did it make you think of while you were reading)

-What is the problem in the story?

-In 3 sentences or less, tell what the story is about.

 

Thank you for your continued support! I am so proud of the progress they are making so far 🙂
