Independent Reading Journal Assignment – Teacher Feedback:
- “This is a great resource to use during your literacy period. I rotate this activity with a few others, in order to ensure the students are in fact reading, and to ensure they understand and are engaged with what they are reading. The students appreciated the prompts and the sample entry.”
- “I love all of the resources by this seller. They save me a lot of time planning and I can use her assessments as a model for creating my own for other assignments. We use this one every year and I think it’s fantastic. Works well for online or in person learning.”
