Encourage thoughtful independent reading with our Reading Response Letters for both literary and informational texts! These letters guide students in reflecting on what they read, enhancing reading comprehension and critical thinking. Perfect for classroom assignments and developing deeper engagement with texts.
Writing back and forth, I formed a special ‘reading bond’ with my students. From these letters, I knew their likes, dislikes, struggles, and tendencies as readers. I was able to recommend certain books for them, help them identify their ‘just-right’ book level, and I could encourage them to think more deeply about the text they were reading.
This resource includes all the materials and tips you need to implement reading response letters in your classroom. Included in this resource…

Perfect! Just what I was looking for. My students are still struggling with letter writing, they are scratching the surface of digging deeper and I have given them multiple sentence stems to help them. Any suggestions?

I bought two types of this assignment because I wasn’t sure which one would work with my students. YOUR WORK IS AWESOME. You saved me so much time and the letter is just perfect! I am so happy to have student examples and a rubric. I cannot wait to use this for this year!
