Kids Reading Log

A child fills this log in; a grown-up prints it. Its 7 pages use Andika, a typeface made for literacy, at 14 point or larger on every child page. How to Use This Log (page 2) gives five steps in short sentences. On My Book, a child writes the title, author and date, draws the favorite part in a big box, writes three lines, picks Easy, Just right or Hard, and colors five stars. Two Books uses smaller boxes for short books. My Reading Minutes shows two weeks, Monday to Sunday, one box per 10 minutes. My 50-Book Caterpillar has numbered circles to color. Books I Want to Read lists 12 lines. There are no lessons or quiz questions, and the Start Here PDF is for the adult.

Questions

What age is it for?

It is written for ages 6 to 10. A younger child can draw and color while a grown-up fills in the title.

What do I print again?

Pages 3 and 4 run out first, and page 5 when the two weeks are done. Page 6 lasts for 50 books.

Can I use it with a class?

The license is for personal use, so one family or one child.

Are there lessons or questions to answer?

No. It is a log: a child records what they read, draws and colors.
