WHY YOU'LL LOVE THE READING JOURNAL
If reading is a constant battle in your homeschool, you're going to love this!
When one of my daughters began seriously struggling with our reading curriculum, I had to do something drastic. I knew there were some underlying vision issues causing her to be a little below level, but the main issue was that she hated the subject.
We needed a change. So I dusted off my M.A.Ed. and created a reading curriculum that would fit ANY book that piqued her interest. Together she and I created something that changed everything. And we want you to have it, too.
HOW IT WORKS
The Reading Journal is 168 lessons recommended for grades 2-5. Comprised of 28 unique lessons that focus on vocabulary, word study, comprehension, and higher-level thinking skills, the journal cycles through each lesson 6 times throughout the year, providing just the right amount of practice without too much monotony.
About once a week, students are asked to evaluate the content of their book based on God's truth. They will compare/contrast with Scripture, consider a character's behavior/influence, and even write out how they might share Jesus with the character.
Once a child learns how to read, he/she needs to continue skill-building throughout the elementary years. The Reading Journal provides the necessary practice while still allowing the student to choose what he/she would most enjoy reading.

Bought for our 3rd grader, love how easily this has encouraged him to read daily. I can let him pick the book for the day- picture or chapter - and know that he will be reading and working on comprehension no matter the choice . We have been using it for three weeks now and it has proven to be an easy and engaging addition to our curriculum this year. Such a flexible format with great questions and appealing graphics. We received a free daily verse card pack with our order and they exceeded my expectations. Nice quality with a small wood stand to display them. Beautiful!
This reading journal has been the perfect piece for encouraging my young reader to read more books. In a digital age where everything is thrown at us instantaneously it's challenging at times to slow down and read. I really want to develop strong readers and this is an excellent resource. We've been using it a month and I told him once it's filled up he can go pick out a lego set... that's highly motivating lol...
My daughter loves the reading journal. As a kiddo that struggles with reading, this has kept her excited about reading!! A true blessing!
This is such an amazing curriculum! I love the fact that we can pick our own books that my daughter is ACTUALLY interested in so that she will be motivated to read each day. This is a full year course for only $20! You can’t beat it! Great for a struggling reader and writer! Would also be a great supplement to any reading curriculum that you are already using, I’m thinking of buying another one to use as a summer reading journal next year!
This Reading Journal is great!! My kindergarten-age daughter can be pretty resistant to academic time, but this journal keeps things fun and interesting for her without overwhelming her. Great book. And... SPIRAL! YAY!
Although I bought this for my first grade daughter, the entire family loves filling in different sections about the books we've been reading together. They are all young, so they still need guidance as to which section might fit the book best, but we have so much fun doing it!
It has spared some marvelous conversations as well! Discussions about genre, fiction versus nonfiction, and how to search for truth have all happened because of this journal 😊
Just received this today. Super fast shipping! I have struggled to find a reading curriculum that my daughter will enjoy, she is a VERY reluctant reader. But honestly, I think it’s because she has no interest in reading most things we’ve tried. I also purchased a book series suggested in the curriculum that I think she’ll actually enjoy. I think the reading struggle is finally over! Thank you for creating such an awesome resource. 😀
This is a cute reading log.!It is simple to use and works for beginning readers and up. We use this as an enrichment piece to traditional school.
I was looking for a new program to do with my elementary children. We've done various reading programs. They are great readers, but I was getting bored with the same old reading activity and analysis. One year I even printed off free worksheets online and created my own and had projects. However, I knew that I was ready for simplicity and when I discovered this reading program, I knew it was the right one. I loved how I can choose the books among what we already have, decide what page numbers they read, and then after they are done, they can do simple activities to help them tell me their thoughts on the book. It will make reading fun again and I'm looking forward to using it for our school year.
