Chapter 1
In Chapter 1, Judy starts the school year in a bad mood. What are two reasons she feels this way, and how do her actions show her feelings?
-
Chapter 2
In Chapter 2, Mr. Todd gives the class the "Me" collage assignment. What do Judy's ideas for her collage show about what she cares about?
Example answer: I think Judy's collage ideas show that she wants people to know she is not ordinary. She cares about things that are unusual, funny, and connected to who she really is. She also wants her classmates to see that her life is interesting, even if she does not always feel that way. The assignment helps her start thinking more carefully about herself.
-
Chapter 3
In Chapter 3, Judy compares her own life to other people's stories and adventures. Do you think she is being fair to herself when she thinks her life is boring? Why or why not?
-
Chapter 4
In Chapter 4, choose one interesting word or phrase the author uses to describe Judy's mood, a character, or an event. What does it mean, and how does it help you picture the scene?
-
Chapter 5
In Chapter 5, Judy faces a problem or disappointment. How does she react at first, and what does that reaction tell you about her personality?
-
Chapter 6
In Chapter 6, Judy's family or friends affect her plans. How do they help, bother, or surprise her in this chapter?
-
Chapter 7
In Chapter 7, Judy wants to be special or noticed. What does she do to try to stand out, and what do you think she learns from it?
-
Chapter 8
In Chapter 8, how does this chapter show that being yourself can be more important than trying to impress other people?
Example answer: I think this chapter shows that Judy is most interesting when she acts like herself. When she tries too hard to impress people, she can get frustrated or make things harder. But when she shares her real interests and feelings, people understand her better. This reminds me that you do not have to be perfect to be special.
-
Chapter 9
In Chapter 9, pick a word that describes Judy's mood in this chapter. What evidence from the chapter supports your word choice?
-
Chapter 10
In Chapter 10, Judy and the other characters make a plan, join in an activity, or work together. What goes well, and what does not go as expected?
-
Chapter 11
In Chapter 11, Judy gets closer to finishing or sharing her collage. What final choices does she make, and why do those choices matter?
-
Chapter 12
In Chapter 12, how has Judy changed from the beginning of the book to the end? Use examples from the story to explain your thinking.
Example answer: At the beginning, Judy is in a terrible mood and thinks the school year will be boring. By the end, she understands that she has many interesting things to share. Her collage helps her see herself in a new way. I think Judy becomes more confident because she learns that being Judy Moody is already special.

How to use this Judy Moody reading journal
At home, as a discussion guide
After each chapter your reader writes a few lines on that chapter’s question. Read the answer together at bedtime: it shows what they understood and gives you something real to talk about, without a quiz.
In class, as a novel study
Print a class set (booklets fold from plain letter paper) and use one question per chapter as the reading-response or literature-circle prompt. The example answers at the front show what a full answer looks like.
Homeschool
One booklet covers the whole book, 12 chapters, so it doubles as the reading log for Judy Moody. Reword any question before printing to match your reader.
Printing
The booklet PDF prints on ordinary 8.5 × 11 paper: print double-sided (flip on the short edge) at 100%, fold the stack in half and staple on the fold. There is also a one-page-per-sheet PDF and A5 binder pages.
