Class set

One copy for every student: type the first names and get one PDF, with each name on that student's own pages. Every student's pages use the same settings.

Class lists are used only to draw the pages and are never saved.

Three reading logs to print: a daily log with the date, the title and minutes read; a weekly log with a box for each day; and a book list for every book finished. Keep one on the fridge or in a school folder so it is easy to fill in right after reading.

Three ways to keep track of reading

The PDF holds three different logs, one per page. The daily log is a table with columns for the date, the title and the minutes. The weekly log gives each day its own box with a title line and a minutes line. The third page, Books I Finished, is a numbered list of titles, authors and the date each book was done.

These are record sheets, not writing practice: an adult and a reader fill them in together, or an older reader keeps one alone. For a page about a single book, with its characters, setting and a favorite part, the Book Report Template is the sister page; for a tracker small enough to live inside the book, see Printable Bookmarks.

Questions and answers

Can I print only the weekly log?

Yes. The logs are pages 1, 2 and 3 of one PDF: daily, weekly, then Books I Finished. Enter 2 in the Pages field when printing to get the weekly log alone.

Does the daily log count minutes or pages?

Minutes. Its columns are Date, Title and Minutes, and each day's box on the weekly log has a Minutes line too. A reader who would rather count pages can write page numbers in the same space.

Is there a place for the author's name?

On the third page. Books I Finished has columns for the title, the author and the date finished, with a running number down the left so the list counts itself.

Is there an account to keep the log online?

No. The logs are paper only: download the PDF, print it and fill it in by hand. What gets written on them stays on the paper.
