Reader’s Notebook for Students

A Reading Notebook will help your children set goals, keep track of their reading and learn to take notes while reading.

This is another free resource for teachers from The Curriculum Corner.

We have developed this reading and writing notebook so that that you can choose the pieces that fit your classroom.

The variety of pages found within also make it easier for you to differentiate for individual students within your class.

We set up our reading notebook in a binder, using dividers to create sections.  Our layout is below but you might find something that works better for you.
