Summer Reading Log Template - Sample

Hi Families,

This time of year the question that parents most often ask is,

“What can I do to help my child continue reading over summer

vacation?” Summer is the perfect time for families to read for

enjoyment and for students to maintain or increase their reading

ability. Similar to other skills, such as basketball or playing an

instrument, reading practice is necessary! The more you practice,

the better you will be. Students are encouraged to read at least

three “good fit” books over the summer. Your child should maintain

a reading log of books read over the summer.

Reading aloud is another option for students to experience

great books. Parents, siblings, or other family members all can read

books of interest. Talking about what your child is reading is a

powerful way to build comprehension skills. It can be as simple as

saying, “Tell me about what you are reading.” Engaging in a natural

conversation about a book gives parents insight in to what your child

understands and builds oral communication skills. Some students

enjoy writing about their reading by keeping a journal. This should be

an opportunity for your child to write a response about their reading

from their own perspective!

*Record the books you read this summer on this reading log. When

you return to school in the fall, you will receive a special reward for

reading at least 3 “good fit” books, completing a graphic organizer

for each book, and having a parent/guardian sign your reading log.

*A list of suggested books is included. However, students are not

limited to these.

*Enjoy reading! Keep your reading log somewhere you will not

misplace it!

*Please contact Ms. Beth:

questions/concerns.
