Homeschool reading log

A page for every book your child reads: the date, the title, the author, the minutes and the pages. Print it blank, or type the books in and the totals add up for you.

Why keep one

A reading log shows the books behind the year. Some states ask for a list of the books you used, and a log kept as you go is easier than one rebuilt in June. See what your state asks for.

For read-alouds, trips and lessons each week, use the weekly log sheet. To see a reading log inside a year-end packet, look at the sample portfolio.

Print. Scan. The record fills itself.

Print a PencilGo reading sheet, your child works in pencil, and you scan it when it's done. PencilGo marks it, picks the next sheet and keeps the record. Free, about five minutes a day.
