These Reading Logs and Certificates are easy to print and ready to use at home all year long...during summer vacation, school breaks, when traveling or even every week. All you need to do is decide which goals you wish your reader to reach.

Once you and your young reader have decided on the amount of reading to be done, the reading log can be used to record the names of books, or the number of pages the child has read.

When your reader has accomplished his or her goal, you can fill out the certificate and put it in a notebook, on the refrigerator or even in a frame to acknowledge their accomplishments and pride in reaching their goals.

There are lots of different kinds of reading materials for children to choose from. Books are right at the top of the list, but other kinds of reading materials may help to encourage reading and add an element of fun. Just for a guideline, some teachers and parents think that reading 200 pages = 1 book. You can adjust your reader’s goals according to the level of difficulty of the material he or she is reading.
