I am a fifth grade teacher in IL, and I assign Reader's Response letters to my students on a weekly basis. I agree that you should ask your teacher to be sure. However, what I look for is a piece of writing written in letter format that contains your thoughts about the book you are currently reading. I require my students to tell me about what strategies they used while they were reading. For example, questions, predictions, connections, ect.
Your letter might look like this:
Dear Miss Teacher,
The book I am reading is Oddkins by Dean Koontz. This is a fable about a set of good and evil toys that are both trying to gain control of a toy shop. One strategy I used to help me better understand this book was visualizing. When Amos and the other Oddkins were trying to escape from the department store I imagined their route. This helped me to understand how scared they were.
Sincerely,
Student
