School reading log

About this printable

School reading logs fail when they ask for essays. This one asks for date, title, minutes, pages, and initials — enough for a teacher, short enough for a Tuesday. Twelve rows fit a busy month if you read most nights. Set a weekly minute goal at the top so the log is not a surprise. Twenty minutes of paper beats an hour of half-watching a show. Park the phone in another room while the log fills; the boxes are the point. Original grid, letter size, no cartoon owl mascots. Write the next-book line so the library trip has a target. Reprint when the rows run out; streaks matter more than pretty handwriting. Teachers who want a class set can photocopy without a license headache. Kids can tally minutes in pencil and still be honest on a tired Thursday.
