Description

Creative JOURNAL PROMPTS for any novel will have your upper elementary and middle school students thinking deeply about what they're reading. Use these in place of a weekly reading log! 40 questions allow for meaningful and insightful discussion or writing while they focus on important READING SKILLS.

You can use this product for fiction and nonfiction books that students read in:

  • literature circles
  • book clubs
  • small groups
  • whole-class
  • independent reading

My students wrote in their reading journals weekly and I collected some journals each day. It allowed for great conversations with them! I knew what my students were reading and how well they understood their independent reading book and if they understand the reading comprehension skill. WIN-WIN!

Included are:

  • Making an inference
  • Cause and effect
  • Text to text connections
  • Text to self connections
  • Making predictions
  • Vocabulary in context
  • Sequence of events
  • Author's craft
  • Plot
  • Characterization
  • Setting
  • Conflict and resolution
  • Theme

Just print and go! Print out the cards on card stock and laminate them so that students can use them in book groups. Or, have students tape the journal prompts to the inside cover of their reading or writing journal.
