READING JOURNAL NAME: CLASS:
INTRODUCTION This reading journal has been put together to help you to become a better and more active reader. We want you to enjoy reading... It should be FUN! During the year, you need to try a range of fiction and non-fiction texts, including stories, poems, plays and information books. As well as reading EVERY day, you are expected to complete one reading activity after you finish each book, in order to understand what you have read. The reading skills you will be using will include: Reading with understanding Finding evidence in the text Reading ‘in between the lines’ Thinking about layout and organisation Thinking about why the writer used certain words and sentences Thinking about the type of writing you are reading
Parents will be expected to sign the log on a daily basis, each time you see or hear your child read. Every week that your child has five signatures in their log they will recieve a gold star, a raffle ticket for the weekly school draw and a chance to win a BRAND NEW BOOK!
