A lot of summer reading programs going on now require children to record the number of books they've read or the number of minutes they've read or the names of the books they've read.
I didn't have an easy way to record the books when summer started, and I got behind.
After an hour or more of searching online, I didn't find a reading log that had the columns I wanted and listed more than 10 books per page.
We read a lot of books around here. 10 books per page would take an awful lot of paper.
So. I made one.
I left a space so that Grace could write her own name on the log and a second space where we could write the month and year.
In Pennsylvania, homeschoolers have to keep a list of books they've used throughout the year, so it's a good habit for us to start. I also just like having a list of the books Grace has read by month.
Here's what the log looks like:
You can get a pdf of the reading log below.

Thank you so much for this. I know it is an old post, but it is exactly what I need for right now. The others I've found had too many images/colors and I needed a simple list that also included minutes. Pinning for next time!

Thank you so much for sharing your reading log! The one without numbers is great in case we need extra space to write the author and just extra practice writing numbers!

God bless you! It's simple, it has perfectly spaced columns, plenty of room for recording the book titles, room for more than 10 books per page as you mentioned, no extra bells and whistles or fluff or jazz. It's PERFECT! I couldn't get my program to cooperate as I attempted to make one of my own, I really didn't feel like doing one by hand but really needed EXACTLY THIS! I know! I'M THRILLED ABOUT THIS READING LOG! DON'T JUDGE MEEEE!! 🙂
