20 Minute Read

Worksheet Description

This reading log is a tool designed for students to document their nightly reading practice, specifically instructing them to read for 20 minutes each evening. The log has fields for the student to record the title of the book being read, the number of minutes spent reading, and a space for a parent’s initials, which serves as a verification of the reading session. Additionally, there’s a section at the bottom for students to note whether they like the book and to provide reasons for their opinion, adding an element of reflection to their reading routine.

This reading log helps students improve their literacy and reading skills by establishing a consistent daily reading habit, which is essential for developing fluency and comprehension. The requirement to reflect on their enjoyment of the book encourages students to think critically about what they read and to develop their ability to articulate personal responses to the text. Parental involvement through initialing each entry can foster a supportive reading environment at home, while the practice of logging the reading itself helps to build responsibility and accountability in the student’s learning process.
