Winter Reading Journal

This packet was designed to help younger students, kindergarten and first grade(with assistance) through second grade, to be able to read books(or have them read to them!)and keep a journal about them. The main goal is to teach the parts of a book while also encouraging comprehension of the book by keeping a journal. This packet can be used with any book, so it can be used over and over! This helps the younger student to learn about and to recognize:

-Parts of a book
-Recognizing the author and illustrator of a book
-Main and supporting characters
-Setting
-Plot
-Critiquing a book

This packet could be done a small group/classroom activity, literacy center activity, or fun homework assignment to be completed over the course of several days. Happy fun winter reading with your students!
