I use this weekly reading log to verify that my first grade students are reading each school night. I usually send home a homework packet on Thursdays to give my kids time over the weekend to work on it-week nights get hectic for most families. I staple a half sheet of the reading log to the front of the homework packet. Students document with parent or sibling help what they read Monday-Thursday of the following week and turn the packets back into me on Fridays. Parents really seem to appreciate the system.

Biweekly Reading Log
This log is for recording two weeks of reading. It provides space for the date, book title and parent signature to verify the reading was done. You will notice that I put a signature spot on some of my reading logs because I just love including that accountability piece.
Biweekly Reading Log 2
This is another biweekly reading log for mature readers (no space for parent verification). It includes date, book title, author, and an area for parent or student comments.
