Reading Diary

Product Information

Not only is this journal adorable, but it’s also filled with monthly challenges, recommended reading, and book club question suggestions. This will be my working journal–the time in the messy middle of reading when I’m still processing what the author is saying and how it’s affecting me. If you want to share your reading journal and have conversations with others about it, Goodreads, Instagram, and blogs are great ways to do it. On my travels to visit wonderful reading schools across the UK, I encounter more and more places that, conscious of these challenges, have moved away from keeping reading diaries in their traditional form.

A dedicated book journal for your reading challenge can be especially useful if your challenge will span a whole year (or even longer). My reading challenge journal includes pages to brainstorm and plan your challenge, as well as monthly pages to note your reading plans and stay on track. He is lucky enough to spend most of his time visiting schools trying to find out what makes great English teaching. For example, we can identify the goals we want to achieve and what kind of reading allows us to progress towards the goals. Keeping a book journal or reading diary can help you remember the books you want to read, keep you on track with reading goals, and help you meet a reading challenge.You can keep a hand-written reading journal using a notebook and a pen, or you can keep an electronic one on a computer or tablet. Rather than a reading diary that only has space for writing, some schools are moving to a model where there is room for pictures, diagrams, cuttings, as well as the written word.

And if you’re trying to learn something, to improve yourself, or to make a real change–as so many of us have been as we dive into our anti-racist education–a reading journal can help you track what you read and learn, and what you plan to read. Quite often the book we originally assigned to fill in some of our needs is not well-suited for the task and we may need to read some very different materials. Is there anything that the author could have done to clarify or answer any questions you were left with? A reading diary with comments is a brilliant tool to use to help your child learn to love reading and read more frequently.

Outstanding home-school link reading record diary that tracks and monitors books from the Reading Scheme and free choice books for Year 2. Instead of having a passive reading diary, it is more challenging and exciting to have a social reading diary. Help your students monitor their reading using this handy reading log template, which allows kids to track their reading history and rate their books.

I have space to summarize the book, why I loved it, themes, quotes, similar books, and to note others who might love it. I’d gotten out of the habit of journaling in general and I thought Goodreads might be enough, flawed as it was. Every pupil in Years 2 - 4 will need to practise tables regularly and record their progress to ensure they reach their full potential for the Tables Testing.

This Log is wonderful for people who not only want to track what they have read, but what they want to read someday. Our motivation and recreation is also a worthy task, so we can read a book because it simply makes us feel better. For younger children, parents can fill out a leaf when they hear their child read at home (in the same way as they would fill out a traditional reading diary).

It has 128 pages, so there is plenty of room to arrange and design a reading log that works for you. There’s space to both log the number of books they read, but also plenty of room to review and put down thoughts or questions they had about what they read. A softcover notebook that’s perfect for those on the go, this journal is full of pages for reviews, wish lists, quotes, and empty checklists to help you stay motivated to read, read, read. I’ve actually started keeping multiple reading journals–some that I use alongside my regular daily reading and others that are tied to longer-term reading goals and tracking. This is especially true if I start out drawing nice layouts and then feel like I need to keep it up.How can I use my own personal knowledge and viewpoint to improve the article or generate an honest discussion? This diary supports and prepares for the important reading and writing attainments at the end of KS2. The Learning Tools in this Reading Diary enable the child to use their reading to develop ideas for discussion and debate for different audiences. This is saved in the class’s shared area, building into a gallery of each child’s reading that year. As a book blogger and someone who pays attention to new releases, I find the monthly planning and reflection pages really helpful.
