MONTHLY READING LOGS

Purpose of Reading Logs: Research shows that the more reading done, the more fluent a reading becomes as a result. My hope is that students will develop a liking to reading, not only in their spare time, but find that they want to read as part of their daily routine.

Reading Log Expectations

Each month students are responsible for reading a total of 400 minutes from either books, magazines, newspapers, comic strips and/or other resources. Each day or whenever reading occurs record the minutes read and the abbreviated resource(s) in each box.
Abbreviating is encouraged on the calendar, though please provide a key to indicate abbreviation meanings. Example: "Village Soup Times" = VST
Please add minutes BEFORE turning in the reading log. KEEP ALL READING LOGS IN A SAFE PLACE !! DO NOT THROW READING LOGS AWAY! We will be graphing monthly totals or our collected data as an added math assignment in June 2005.
DUE DATES: Reading logs are ALWAYS due on the first weekday of the new month. For example, if Sunday is the 1st of the month, then the reading log is due Monday the 2nd.
PARENTS: Please sign each reading log. I ask for this for three reasons: parental awareness, educational involvement and you may learn what your child enjoys reading. If you care to take it to a higher level, ask your child about what they are reading. Talk about the subjects, settings of a book, characters, what they have learned from the newspaper article or geographic location of newspaper articles.
