Reading Response Journal

 


May Reading Response Journal Homework 

   Every Monday, your child will bring home his/her reading response notebook to complete the designated task.  The children have until Friday to complete one reading response.  This homework will change monthly, so I will send a letter home each month indicating the new homework assignment.

   For the entire month of May,  we are asking that you and your child read a story together.  This month your child may choose one of the following things to write about:

   1.)  Make a text-to-text connection.  This means that your child will write and draw about how the story he/she has read reminds him/her of another book or one that has been read to him/her
            
                                                or
   2.)  Make a self-to-text connection.  This means that your child will write and draw about how the story he/she has read that reminds him/her of his/her own life.


   Please make sure that the entry includes the date, title, and author of the book in the reading response journal.  The children have already glued an example of how I would like the May journal entry to look like in their reading response notebook.  

Thank you for all of your continued home support!
