iMOM’s printable Reading Log is a great way to track your child’s reading adventures! After finishing a book, have your child write down the title and the author. You can also ask him to rate the book with 1-5 stars. By keeping track of the books our kids have read, they’ll be able to see how far they’ve come in a short period of time. Many adults also keep track of the books they read and if this is something you’d enjoy, you and your child could both keep a reading log and compare notes after a month.
Keeping a reading log is a good way for kids to also work on their penmanship and organizational skills, two qualities that become increasing important for success in English Language Arts classes as they get older.
If you have a reluctant reader, iMOM’s Reading Log could also be used as an incentive. Talk with your child about a reward for completing the chart and set a goal to receive that reward. Perhaps five books read independently would earn a trip to the ice cream shop. Maybe 10 books would be a movie night with the family. If you read together and then fill in the reading log as a team, it’ll work just as well. Setting our kids up for success starts with having good literacy skills and a reading log is one tool to get that journey started!
Setting goals and keeping track of your child’s reading on iMOM’s printable Reading Log will show your child that reading is important but also fun!
