Reading Journals

If you haven't read "The Book Whisper" by Donalyn Miller and you are a teacher or home-school mom then you should.  These beautiful journals were posted by The Apple Basket Teacher and made after  having been inspired by the book.

Book journals are a great way for a reader to incorporate writing and to have them learn to write reflections of what they have read.  They journal in what they liked and didn't like and even how it may have affected them as readers.  Then, when they need to recommend a book or are asked about a book they read, the reader has a reference of their initial thoughts and feelings.   Sharing a great way to inspire others to read as well.
