Monthly Reading Book Logs

Reading at home is an integral part of the School/Home Learning Connection. Monthly Reading Book Logs are an easy way to make sure your students are practicing at home. As a second grade teacher, I wanted something different from the usual weekly logs. I decided to use monthly logs with an extra kick!

I knew my students would be able to read at the least five good books during the month. They could read more, but I wanted to know about the five books they enjoyed that were their favorites. I also decided that instead of just signing the book log, I wanted the students to reflect on what they had read. I am sharing my Monthly Book Club Logs with you.

Each month focuses on a different aspect of their books:

• Favorite Book;
• Favorite Character;
• Favorite Setting;
• Favorite Nonfiction Book/Article;
• Story Problem & Solution;
• Comparing Characters;
• Comparing Books;
• Comparing Setting.

I have also included an extra Comparison Sheet. This product includes 15 pages that your can use to extend your balanced literacy instruction beyond the classroom.
