Reading Log (see attached example)

Students that need this strategy must increase the amount of reading that they do. The books they are reading must also be a “good fit.” In order to hold students accountable for this, a reading log can be filled out by the student to demonstrate the amount of time spent reading. This can be done in the writing notebook or on a log such as the one provided below.

Conferring

• Ask students to read a portion of their good fit book.
• After listening to the student read, ask what they notice about theirreading fluency when reading a good fit book.
• Discuss the importance of voracious reading and “good fit books.”
