How the RRN Inspires Young Readers, An Example

 Vanessa Burke, 5th Grade Teacher in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ, writes:

"Here is an entry from one of my students.  This student has come so far in his weekly entries. After conferring in the beginning of the year, this student has worked hard to try numerous types of entries. Now he will write 4-5 entries per week. He puts forth great effort in his weekly entries. I’ve called his parents to report on this positive news and he has embraced his notebook ever since. I’ve spotlighted his entries for the class and this has raised the bar for many of his peers."

Two recent posts on Twitter. The first shows "speed dating" by undergraduate students at Queens College, thanks to Prof. Dina Weiss. The second points the way to a blog post I did on the NCTE blog ( https://ncte.org/blog/2019/01/reader-response-notebook ) about The Reader Response Notebook.

4th Grade Teacher, Dina Weiss (Ed.D.), shares the following (Jan., 2023):  the students in my class doing a kind of speed dating community share of their reading responses based on their independent books. They were reading each other's responses for the purpose of getting ideas for their own future response work, as well as giving supportive feedback on how their classmate can show deeper thinking with their work.
