There are numerous benefits of using blogs to discuss reading in the elementary classroom. Teachers can assess reading comprehension for individual students while managing several book clubs in a digital space. The resulting assessment‐based data can be used to differentiate instruction. Additionally, students can experience growth as independent, self‐reflective readers. Ideas for implementation within elementary classrooms and advice for beginning the blogging process are included.
