Writing in a Reading Journal

A reading journal lets you write about the stories and books you read. What amazed you? What scared you? What characters are your favorite? What would you do if you were in the story? Your reading journal wants to know!

Look at what Josie, Tony, and Claire wrote about.

Sample Journal Pages

Volcano Blast by Marianne Kennedy

Noah and Emma are on an island in Alaska when a volcano erupts! Ash clouds fill the sky and rivers of lava cover the land. Vera and I acted it out, playing “The Floor is Lava” in our bedroom!

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis

Mom started this book tonight. At first it was boring. Then they found a whole world in a wardrobe. It’s like a closet. I checked mine, but it’s just regular. I’d like to meet Mr. Tumnus.

—Tony
