Reading Log For 3rd Grade: Fill & Download for Free

I would search for a simple reading log.Reading logs would keep me highly motivated by having a daily goal of reading x number of pages for homework. Our teacher would ask us a couple of questions about what we read the day before and give us a sticker for completing our goal. When we finished the entire book we would get a prize ( usually “coupons” like no homework, leave for recess early, etc.). Anyway, after a while, you get hooked and can’t stop reading. You are not even doing it for the prize anymore.The teacher usually set a minimum amount of pages for each day. The first couple of days you see it an annoying task but eventually, it turns into a challenge. You want to read more than the minimum number of pages.Our teacher would give us the last 10 minutes of class to read so that we could start on our homework.You can do something similar with your daughter. This example is from when I was in 3rd grade, so adjust as you see fit to her age.Find or make a simple reading log that works for her. Set a minimum number of pages she has to read per day or week whichever works best for you. I recommend daily.Set 5 minutes during the day for reading. It would always have to be at the same time and same place. It has to be a place where you can watch her but it has to be a quiet place. These 5 minutes are not optional but they help her with her reading “homework”Discuss what she read daily or weekly, whichever you prefer. Don’t forget the stickers for the reading log and the prizes can be coupons for different things such as a day of no chores, going to the movies, etc.When I was a teacher for a first-grade class, I would do something similar with coupons and sticker cards for participating in class. Everyone loved it!

Is this a trick question?Reading was practically my life. I got in trouble at school for reading in class after I finished my work. I always forgot to fill out the reading log because reading was such a normal part of my daily experience that I didn't think of it as anything special or view it as a school assignment. I had more books than all my clothes and shoes and bags put together. I had more books than jackets, which is a big deal for me because I am freezing cold pretty much 24/7. In kindergarten I read at 5th grade level, in 3rd grade I was at high school level, and by 5th grade I read collegiate level material easily. My parents grounded me for reading too much, and they grounded me from reading as a standard punishment. The only thing I might have loved more than reading was writing. One of my favorite things to do was sleep with a book under my pillow at night (I blame Ink heart for my neck pain).I wish I could read that much now, but school and work have dominated my life because I'm trying to graduate early and I'm broke.Books are my first love, and that love will never really die.

I think the age appropriate level is completely dependant upon the child. I have three kids who all saw movies 1 through 5 together at home with my husband and I, then 6 through 8 in the theaters, again with us. All of the more sensitive or frightening situations had been discussed by the fall after the final movie, when my daughter began to read the series at the age of 9 in 4th grade. She took her time with each book and finished them over the course of a school year as part of her required reading logs (the previous year she had done the same with A Series of Unfortunate Events, so she had some experience with series reading). As she finished each book, she passed them to her older brother who was a grade above her They both were able to follow the story as it progressed and truly got how everything fit together, especially the parts that differed from the films. My youngest son who was a very strong reader, borrowed the books and tackled the entire series that following summer at the age of 8 before going into 3rd grade. It was the first time he had read a series, and I noticed that he didn’t seem to recall the smaller nuances as the story progressed, and when we discussed each book as he finished it, he didnt recall all the details from previous books that helped make the recent book clearer. This could have been because it was his first series, or because the books were a little more complex than the books he was used to at the time. Happily, he has since re-read them and can carry his own weight when Harry Potter discussions erupt in my house, which is probably more often than the average family.
