Home Reading Log

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Ask your learners to keep track of their independent reading progress on a weekly reading log. There is space to write the title of the book, the pages read, a brief summary of what was read each time, and the minutes read. Each of the five total entries requires a parent signature, and students must read at least two hours per week.
