reading response

Reader's written reflection

A reading response is a written reaction to a text, typically assigned in educational settings.

Students summarize what they read and offer personal reflections, interpretations, or critiques: The professor asked for a one-page reading response by Friday.

Unlike formal essays, reading responses emphasize engagement with the material over polished argumentation.
