Reader's Notebook: Goal Trackers, Conference Forms, Reading Responses & MORE
Tired of your students' reading materials shoved in desks and scattered throughout the classroom? Keep all of your students' reading resources in one place! This download includes several reading resources (printable or digital) that students can use to keep track of reading activities, reading goals and progress, reading responses, and reading resources.
This Reader's Notebook is the students' go-to reading resource that they will use almost every day during your reading block. It can also be used as an assessment tool for you, the teacher, to help inform your instruction.
The reader's notebook includes 4 sections:
Reading Goals & Progress - This is where students record their monthly reading goals and track their progress.
Reading Records - In this section students keep track of their daily reading, conferences with the teacher, as well as keep track of the types of books they read
Reading Responses - In this section students create a variety of reading responses to their individual books. Within this section, students use several different reading response templates and prompts.
Reading Resources - In this students store important reading-related hand-outs that they can reference all year. A table of contents is used to help organize each resource.
This reader's notebook will help support your upper elementary students (grades 3, 4, or 5) by teaching them important management & organizational skills, holding them accountable for their independent reading, and giving them a tool that they can reference all year long!
PLUS - you can modified and customize the content inside the notebook to fit the needs of your students.
VIDEO TUTORIAL PROVIDED TO HELP YOU effortlessly set up both the printable and digital formats.
The Reader's Notebook is provided as a printable PDF that can be organized in a 3-ring notebook, OR as a digital Google Slides notebook that can be assigned inside Google Classroom.
