Middle School Reading Journal

Great for reluctant writers

My son has disliked writing from a very early age even coloring was a struggle. This is broken down in small parts that are easy for him to handle and gets him writing/ physically spelling each day. He also struggles with open ended questions wanting to know the "correct" answer. This reading journal is helping him realize that not all questions have just one answer. I also appreciate how it ties in biblical viewpoints for any book you read, making my child really think about character traits. One suggestion to users is that this is meant to be used along side the reading, I made the mistake and thought it was for after the novel was finished. Even still it's pulling from his memory.

Love this!!

My son is excited about using this journal.. We both love how you can choose the books that you want to read!! I love how this is laid out, it looks fun and exciting, which is great for kids, because it will draw them in! Honestly, when I looked through it, I wanted to use it myself. We love the quality, and the work that went into this! I think it would be a great idea to adapt this for an adult wanting to use this for fun. So maybe just remove the composition at the end.🤪 but then add more adult level questions or other activities that would be help them to retain information.

Fantastic reading journal

I love this journal! I love the format, layout, questions, all of it is fantastic. My 11 year old is enjoying it so much more than a traditional literature curriculum, he gets to read books he likes! I love that I can see on paper what he’s actually taking away from the books. The questions are open ended so I can really see his thoughts. We have added grammar and copywork along with this to create a well rounded LA course for him and we are having a great school year!
