Summer Reading in an Interactive Way

I've been thinking of how summer reading at our school can be more accountable, exciting, and meaningful.  What about an interactive summer journal.  It would be a place where students would write, draw, and interact with the setting they travel to, characters they meet, and authors they discover.  I wanted all grade levels to have a similar journal, but with different targeted teach points.  Here is my latest project.... Sumer Journals

This bundle includes a summer journal for students entering grades PreK-4 all the way to 3rd grade.  Each student receives a take home letter, journal, reading list, and calendar to mark days read in the summer.  The idea is to interact with the text while at  home on summer break.  In the lower grades, students will be drawing setting, discovering new characters, finding sight words, alphabet letters, and much more.  In the upper grades, 2-3, students are comparing characters, finding similarities in authors, and noting setting changes.
