Response to Reading

On notebook paper, use one of the response starters from below

to begin a paragraph about what you are reading. It should be a
paragraph with a topic sentence and at least 3-5 supporting
details. Third graders should be writing at least 5 sentences.
This is NOT a summary of what you have read. It is a
response to what you have read.

On the top line, write the title and author of the book. Dont
forget to capitalize and underline the title.
You do not have to be finished with your book. You can respond
to what you have read so far.
Record your reading on your reading log.
