Abstract

Recent reading scholarship suggests that instructors should carefully attend to their students’ reading practices. Although reading journals offer insight into student practices, we continue to treat reading journals as a mundane, process-based document and overlook the important metacognitive work that journals contribute. Through the examination of a corpus of student texts, this article argues for reenvisioning the work of the reading journal, demonstrating how this commonplace assignment contributes to students’ recognition of reading-writing connections and describes a new lens through which to approach reading journals.
