Personalizing YOUR OWN Reading Notebook

MY READING NOTEBOOK

Each year, I let my students take the first day of school to decorate their Reading notebooks. It gives them a chance to chit-chat with fellow students, express themselves creatively (which sometimes is stunted in a rigorous curriculum), and take pride and ownership of their work.

I have done this for 10 years and it works! Hope this helps!?
