School is almost out for summer! Between vacations and other fun activities, you likely want to keep your young readers engaged and may have some required summer reading time for school too. Keeping track of all the books you read can be a challenge, which is why I’m excited to offer these cute reading logs! This set of free printable summer reading logs will help you keep track of all the titles you devour, start and stop times for each reading session, and the number of pages per session too. Maybe your little ones (or even you!) will discover some new favorites along the way. So grab your sunscreen and a cold drink, and get ready to log those reading hours!
There are nine different printable sheets that include book, fantasy, nature, unicorn, and summer themes! The reading logs are in PDF format and sized for 8.5″ x 11″ prints. The PDF also includes an assortment of bookmarks to print and cut out. Cardstock works best for the bookmarks, but plain paper is fine too!
