We hope your child is enjoying the opportunity to use their reading journals, which were sent home a couple of weeks ago. Although we set a target page for their group reading book, children should feel free to read further. Children should be using their journals to capture their thoughts about what they have read.
Here are some ideas of how to use your journal:
- word banks
- summaries
- questions about the character/ text/ plot
- predictions
- labelled diagrams from descriptions
- reviews
- author fact files
- lists of books read
- lists of new vocabulary
- glossaries
- lists of impressive words
