Help students draw personal links to literature by reflecting on what they've read.

Get your students writing about literature with purpose.

When your students build a personal connection to a book, they're more likely to make the necessary effort to understand it. Help them make those connections with literary Response Journals.

Each title-specific unit is filled with thought-provoking writing prompts that will encourage your students to reflect on the text and how it relates to their lives.

Why are Response Journals great?

  • The writing prompts require your students to give more than just opinions-they have to support their ideas with evidence from the text.
  • Your students will practice many kinds of writing: personal reflection, poetry, dramatic writing, essays, and much more.
  • They're packed with dozens of writing prompts and a cumulative multiple-choice test to boot.

Response Journals are also included in our Complete Teacher's Kits.
