Reading Response Journals are an effective alternative to traditional 'reading logs'. I created these journals for my 5th graders, and they could be used up to 8th grade and as low as 3rd grade. This packet includes 8, 2-3 page single themed reading journals. The themes are: Connections, Summarizing, Predictions, Making and Inference, Character Traits, Elements of the Story, Character Traits with Quotes, and Important Events. Each RRJ is a week's worth of reading responses, 20 minutes per night
