Reading Journals?

[dolllover]

I have four reading Journals, one for Molly, Felicity, Kirsten, and Samantha. I don't know what they originally were sold with. The covers have a picture of that girl and under the picture it says Reading Journal, My Companion To _______'s Books. Inside there are questions about the six books in the girls' series. Are these valuable? I am thinking of selling them if anyone is interested. Here is a cover picture. Thanks to anyone who knows what this originally went to (I think it may be from one of the Teacher Kits, I'm not sure though).

i have no idea if theyre valuable or not, but if i would be interested in them if youre willing to sell. i teach 5th grade and my girls love american girl dolls. i think it would be a good independant reading activity.

I will sell these to you. I will PM you with the information.

Do you know what they originially went to?

[MissCurlyCat]

Yes, they went with the original american girl today dolls from the very first year they started (1996?) and are rare/hard to find.

Thanks! AGT's were introduced in 1995 I believe.

I think these came with the original American Girl Club and Historical Society. I have very similar ones that came in my set, but the cover of yours are different, mine have same maroon marbeling that's on the cover of the entire club set.

I know there were 2 versions of the club, (as there are 2 main handbooks floating around), so yours might have come from the second set. I can check an old catalogue later, if you'd like.

My second guess would be, as mentioned, that they go to the teachers' guides. Those, I think, were white, and therefore these should match them.

The books that came with the original AGTs have nothing to do with the historical dolls, they were 6 blank books in the style of the historical books, that you could write yourself for your doll, "Meet _________," "__________ Learns a Lesson," etc., where you fill in the blank with your doll's name. Each blank book had an accompanied book to help you write the story.

Let me know if I can be of more help. I can take some pictures of the insides of the books I have if it would help you to identify yours.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">how did they go with the original AGT dolls when they are not AGT books? i think the WHOLE kit can go for about 20-25 dollars, which includes teaching guides and a full size classroom map, etc.

Then the second year or so AGT came out they shorted it to just Meet _____, of course now the AGTs come with a 'Best Friend Forevers' book. So those 6 books were the 'best Friends Forever' book at the time.
