Your Secret Weapon for Reading Response!

Have you ever thought to yourself, “It’s not even worth my time to grade these reading responses“? Trust me…you aren’t alone!

The thing is- writing about reading is a skill. One that we can’t guarantee our students walk in with on day one. If you want organized, focused responses, you need to teach, model, and reinforce HOW to do it.
