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.

You'll love this homeschool history curriculum that gives you a personal view of God's goodness through the lives of 12 heroes of the faith.
Your family will see first hand how to trust God even in the most difficult of circumstances as you journey with these missionaries around the world and learn history, language arts, geography, and more!
Still Singing is a unit study curriculum focused on hymns people have been using for hundreds of years to help them focus on God's truth and trust Him in the hardest moments.
Learn why these hymns are treasures of the Christian faith and how they can help us trust God as you study each hymn in this cherished music appreciation curriculum written specifically for multi-age homeschooling.
A huge part of the reason I homeschool is to inspire a love for reading. Each day my children are required to read “x number of pages” but I’ve always wanted more than just me questioning them afterwards. THIS is my perfect solution! But this journal isn’t the same boring questions to answer day after day. It’s something new each day, in fact occasionally it might be a new term we can discuss and then we are learning NEW THINGS while we journal! I just love it! Thank you a million times over. I am so impressed and grateful.
I love these reading journals to get my kids minds engaged with their books in different ways. There are several different exercises and the pages are fun for the kids.
Super cute and thorough. Easy enough for the younger kiddos to understand, yet detailed enough to help them retain information from the books they are reading.
A fun way to incorporate more reading for my kiddos
I purchased this last year. So excited to include it in my daughters reading this year. The Journal will be a great way to track and record her learning this year.
Best company ever! So glad I found it:)
So excited to implement this into our curriculum this year, I love all the book suggestions inside the journal too!
Bought for my two sons for homeschool. A great tool for checking for retention. There are MANY prompts-I enjoyed planning our reading with this journal. Bonus-included at the beginning is a list of Christian young reader books.
My son, the voracious reader - but master "avoider of all things writing" was commenting (after a week of 5th grade soft-start that included the elementary reading journal) "I love this!" It came completely out of the blue, so it was not prompted by me. I was thrilled on my flip through, and it's up to him which section to fill out based on type of book he's reading at the time. Thanks for any easy way to touch on reading skills, that he can be responsible for.
