Which reading log do you need?

Reading logs do two different jobs. Some are for accountability: they show a teacher or parent that the nightly reading happened. Others are a record: a list of what a student has read over a month, a summer, or a school year. Pick the sheet that matches the job.

Every log prints on standard US Letter paper and matches the look of our free homeschool planner, so the pages sit together in one binder. New readers who need short books to fill a log can start with our free decodable readers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which reading log should I use?
For nightly reading homework that a parent signs, use the weekly reading log. To fit a month on one page with initials only, use the daily reading log. If the goal is minutes, not titles, use the reading minutes tracker. To keep a list of finished books across the year, use the book list. Children who are not writing yet can color in the bookshelf tracker.
What grade levels are these reading logs for?
The bookshelf tracker is for preschool through 2nd grade. The weekly and daily logs suit kindergarten through about 6th grade, with an adult writing for the youngest children. The reading log with summary works from 2nd grade, once a child can write a few sentences. The book list works through middle school.
How many minutes should my child read each night?
Twenty minutes a night is the most common assignment in elementary school, and many teachers ask for 10 to 15 minutes in kindergarten and 1st grade. Follow your teacher's guidance if you have it. A steady daily habit matters more than the exact number.
Can I print these for my whole class?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need for your classroom, homeschool, library program, or family. The sheets use thin lines and light tints, so they print cleanly in black and white and use little ink.
Are the reading logs really free?
Yes. Every log is a free PDF with no sign-up and no watermark. You can download them one at a time or all together in a single PDF.
