Designed with both teachers and students in mind, this flexible reading resource gives students a consistent place to set goals, make predictions, respond to reading, build vocabulary, use text evidence, track character or idea changes, and reflect on their growth as readers.

Best of all, it can be used with almost any fiction or nonfiction text, making it an easy addition to guided reading groups, small-group instruction, reading intervention, independent reading, or homeschool lessons.
