Reading Log
Seven labelled day rows record book title, pages read, minutes spent, and a parent signature column. A straightforward week-at-a-glance log for school reading diary expectations.
31 numbered rows for a calendar month. Record date, book title, minutes and adult initials. Cross out unused dates for shorter months; print at actual size for accurate A4 spacing.
14 reading-session rows with date, start time, finish time, minutes and notes. Use one row per session, whether you read once or several times in a day.
11 reading rows with book title, date, minutes and five outline rating stars. Light alternating tints distinguish rows; write a short title and colour the stars to show your opinion.
Reading Tracker
Grid of forty star outlines to colour — one star per book or reading session completed. Visual progress wall chart without daily columns; milestones emerge as the page fills.
Thirty numbered boxes to colour or tick when a book is finished, with milestone markers at ten, twenty, and thirty. Compact term-long challenge format for keen readers.
10 daily rows, each with six segments worth 10 minutes each. Colour a segment for every 10 minutes read; each row records up to 60 minutes. Choose a comfortable target, not a speed test.
Checklist of genres — adventure, non-fiction, poetry, and more — with boxes to tick as children read widely. Encourages leaving comfort zones beyond familiar series.
Book Review
Short review layout: title, author, star rating, and favourite part lines. Quick enough for weekly homework without overwhelming early writers in KS1 and lower KS2.
A one-page review with title, author, genre, characters, setting, plot summary, evidence for an opinion, new words and a star rating. Designed for confident writers who can refer to details in the text.
Write the title and author, draw your favourite scene in a large box, explain how the book made you feel and add a star rating. An adult can scribe while a younger child talks and draws.
Record the book title and author, then use nine rows for chapter number, what happened and the best moment. Finish with a whole-book verdict. Print another copy for a longer book.
