Can you add some additional ideas here?

Don’t know if it would fit, Lynne, but I would add a laugh a day.

Reader response is the most important way to engage w/ a text, I think. One of my favorite ways to respond to literature is w/ copy change. It doesn’t work w/ all books bug is best w/ highly stylistic writing. It forces us to understand syntax and the ways syntax informs ideas. I also like writing from poetry. Often I’m most inspired by a poem someone else has written.

I used to love reading the responses in my students reading journals. I’m going to share this wonderful list with my daughter, a middle-school reading specialist. Thanks, Lynn!

I love this list! Before the school closures, I was just starting a reading workshop unit and we were beginning to work on reading journals. Our district may roll out some form of online teaching in April, but until then, all my time is tied up in working with my 4th grade son, who hasn’t done reading journals. This will be a great list for him to experiment with!
