Introduction
Join me as we dive into ways to create reading responses with Book Creator!
Reading responses can take many forms and Book Creator gives you the space to set up students for success.

This book includes 15 ways to use Book Creator for reading responses. You can tailor these ideas to both collaborative and independent student products and scale each one to make sure it meets the needs of your students. 
A few tips
Create models for your students so they understand the expectations for the reading responses you introduce to your group
Design tasks that can be differentiated for your group of students so everyone has a way to respond to what they have read
Reading responses can also include reflections on text students have listened to in the form of read alouds, audio recordings, or podcasts

Daily Journal
Students can use Book Creator to capture reading every day in a journal format.
As students read each day they can use Book Creator to capture their thoughts, ideas and inspirations.

A daily reading journal gives students a space to respond to reading using teacher prompts or free writing. 
A daily journal can include a few key features within each day’s entry. You might ask students to include:
Book title
Date
Pages read
Author name
Comfort level
Reading goal
Each day students can add a new page to their ebook to chronicle their reading over the course of the school year. The prompts you give students may change, just like your expectations for their reading responses will evolve over the course of the school year.
