Reading Log: 

  • Reading logs will go home with students on Monday.
  • Reading logs will be due the following Monday.
  • Students are to read 20 minutes minimum per night. 
  • The 20 minutes each day, can be split up if students aren't up to reading for 20 minutes straight. They could break it into 10/10 min or 5/5/5/5 min for a total of 20 minutes per night. If really needed, parents can alternate reading a pages with students. 
  • Students will then need to fill out a box on the log for the night.
  • Students will need to return their logs on the next Monday.​
REMEMBER: The purpose of the reading log is to get students reading and thinking about what they read as well as building up their fluency and stamina for bigger reading assignments.
