Alternative Reading Log | Printable home reading

This fun, printable reading log / journal offers creative ways to assign reading homework to kindergarten and first grade students. Created with options for meaningful, fun, kindergarten and 1st grade 'homework'.

The K-1 Reading Log Alternative includes 12 months (with a choice of themes to use for October, November, December, April and August) for young students to share a picture of a story they like and someone they like to read with (along with a four - part visual checklist at the bottom of the page).

The visual checklist reinforces positive reading habits, representing prompts from the introduction page, regarding:

✔Do I fit reading into my life most days?

✔Do I look at books and listen to stories about things that I am interested in, enjoy and make me laugh?

✔Am I responsible for getting my reading materials to and from school?

✔Do I get ready for bed on time to hear a story?

Having a fun, alternative reading log is ideal for setting a positive tone for homework and reading early in your students’ academic careers! I like using the monthly journal pages as part of the special helper of the day's oral language opportunities.

Enjoy this alternative Reading Log for early readers!
