In Kindergarten we ask all parents to read with their child for 20 minutes, 5 nights a week. We used to have parents list out the date, what books they read, and how long they read for. To make it easier for the parents and for me this year, I decided to create a Calendar-style reading log, where parents have to fill out what they read/how long on an actual calendar so they can visually see which days they read/did not read with their child and if they met the goal of 5 nights a week. I think it will also be a great visual for the kiddos to see as well. Spacing was a little tight so there wasn't room to make it cute!

This explanation will go in front of the whole packet. I have also included a blank reading log instruction sheet incase you have different reading goals. |
|
This is what each month looks like. This reading log calendar goes to the end of May.

@emilee - the word version is offered above! :)
Oh no! When I try to open the word document it no longer is formatted correctly. I have tried opening the document on both a mac and a PC. I am not sure if anyone else has experienced this same issue or if the problem is on my end. I would LOVE a copy of this wonderful reading log! Wonderful idea and a wonderful blog! :)
I've been looking for a way to track students minutes this year and LOVE your monthly calendar idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
