Reading LogYour assignment is to read a total of 75 minutes each week. This averages out to about 15 minutes a night for Monday – Friday. You may use the weekend to catch up if you need to, however, the goal of this activity is to develop good reading habits by reading daily. Be sure to write down the title of what you are reading and the number of MINUTES that you spent reading. A parent or guardian must sign, or initial, to verify the information. Your reading log is due on MONDAY (each week).
**Examples of things to read: magazines, novels, library books, newspapers, etc. This is supposed to be “interest reading”. Homework assignments DO NOT count unless stated otherwise by the teacher.
