The Books We Read: A Parent/Child Reading Journal
Make reading time more meaningful with this parent/child book journal.
Kids and parents can use the reading journal and book log to track the books they read together. The journal encourages kids and parents to reflect on and discuss what they read. Kids can use the spaces to record:
- What happened in the book
- Favorite parts of the book
- Favorite characters
- News words
- Feelings prompted by the book
- Favorite quotes
- 1-5 star ratings
The journal pages prompt reflection but are open-ended so kids can choose whether to write or draw their responses, making this journal perfect for kids of all ages--whether they can write yet or not. Parents also have space to record their thoughts and their ratings.
