A reading log is a great tool that assists teachers, parents and children. As early as first grade, both of my children were required to complete a reading log as part of their homework. As a result, we’ve created free, printable reading logs ideal for a child in elementary school.
Daily Reading Log – Weekly
The following reading log formats are commonly used in our elementary school. Our school requires each student to read for at least 20 minutes a day and the reading logs below are used to track each student’s progress. They are distributed on Monday and due on Friday.
| Reading Log 1 This reading log is arranged by day; it contains a section for each homework session – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It also contains a section for a title, author, pages read and parent’s signature. |
| Reading Log 2 This reading log is very similar to the one above except it put a box around each homework session. |
| Reading Log 3 This reading log is very similar to the ones above except it does not contain instructions. If your reading program has a different reading requirement, e.g. 15 minutes, use this log. |
