Ways to use the Reading Log Maker in class
Send home a weekly reading log
Print the Weekly Log with the Parent/Guardian signature line on and a Teacher note line such as My reading goal: ______ minutes a day. Students fill in a row each day, add up the Weekly total and bring it back on Monday.
Track a month of reading on a calendar
Pick the month with the arrows or This month, then print the Monthly Calendar Log. Students color the square for each day they read, and in grades 3 to 8 they also write their minutes and fill in Days read and Total minutes at the bottom.
Run a class reading bingo challenge
Print the Reading Bingo Challenge for each student. In Classroom Presentation Mode you can tap squares on the board to color a class card as students share books, and Clear marks starts it over. Shuffle squares gives another class a different card.
Respond to reading with sentence starters
Use the Reading Response Log during independent reading. Students circle I noticed..., I wonder... or This reminds me of... and finish the thought on the lines. K–2 students can draw a picture first and then write.
