In partnership between Book Creator and Epic! we have created an amazing remixable template journal filled with reading responses to meet a variety of student needs. Reading Response Journal A reading response journal allows students to reflect on their initial responses to their reading experiences. These journal entries or pages can be completed immediately after reading a portion of text, or after an entire book. It offers a place to reflect on the story in an open format. Using this book As students read books in Epic! they are tasked with completing a daily journal page reflecting on the section or book they've read.
