Topic: Response to Literature

10-second review: Encourage children to respond non-judgmentally to what they are reading as a basis for later judgments. They can do so in "reading journals" in which they discuss what they are thinking while they are reading.

Comment: I don’t know whether it matters all that much whether the students make judgments. Writing their responses as they read is a good idea. RayS.
