Travel to different worlds. Discover the History. Learn good habits. Develop empathy and an understanding about feelings. Get exposure to diversity - of thoughts, of ethnicity, of backgrounds. Instill a passion for reading... ... there are so many things that reading can do to a child that reinforcing the great habits of a book lover is always a good idea. Or giving a bit of encouragement to a kid who needs to read more. And that's exactly what this journal will do! With the daily use of this Reading Books Journal, overtime, kids will look forward to their daily reading & discussion time, and the "big readers" will have a wonderful record of the child's assisted reading journey. ◆ ◆ ◆ This reading log will help parents, teachers and caregivers: ✓ develop a positive reading routine with their child, ✓ keep track of a child's (assisted) reading, ✓ and will promote a dialogue between the reader and the child after each reading session helping kids reflect about what they read and express it, and even improve their drawing skills. ★ How to use this journal ★ Every time you and your child finish reading a story together, fill out a journal entry with information such as: Book name, date when it was read, who was the reader; What the child thought about the story (ie. was it funny, scary, exciting?); Who are the main characters, and where does the story take place; What happened in the story; what was the child's favorite part and least favorite part; How much the child liked the book; A drawing about the story. (Note: You may complete every section or start asking the child just a few questions per book, and gradually add more. You also can make more than one entry about the same book if your child - like ours - loves to re-read a favorite book multiple times!) ◆ ◆ ◆ On this updated version of the journal, we also included key recommendations for the grown ups on how to make the most of reading time with kids, including suggestions for before reading time and during reading time that could make a huge difference on your child's reading journey and school experiences. The gift of a lifelong reading habit is priceless, but you can plant the seeds for that by reading to your child daily! Let's do this together! Ps.
