Lovin Learnin Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 For those of you who keep reading logs what information to you record? We do not have any reporting requirements in our state but I would like to keep track anyway. Right now we have the obvious - title, author and year of publication. Anything else? TIA!

Food4Thought Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I also keep track of books that were favorites or books that we absolutely hated. It's a very minimal rating system - just a star for favorites and a down arrow for bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFaerie Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I include the date the book was finished and (for my youngest) the reading level of the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I also record number of pages (if it's a chapter book), genre (whether it's history, science, biography, fiction), and I'll record reading level (using Scholastic's website).

Farrar Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I used to give my kids the option to draw a picture - when it was their very first books. Now, I let them dictate a few sentences about the book. Did they like it? If so, why? Soon, that may switch to them writing it themselves.

Staceyshoe Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I have separate pages for Read Alouds, Audio Books, Fiction, Science, and History. For each book, I write the author, title, picture or chapter book (abbreviated with P or C), date read, and the subject area if it is science or history (e.g., "human body" or "pilgrims"). It is really nice to have and doesn't take much time. I think it will be a huge help once my 2nd dc is in school too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
