A reading log that takes ten seconds to fill in
School reading logs are a chore because they ask for more than anyone wants to write at 8pm. This one has a row per day and three short columns: what was read, how long, and a space for a grown-up's initials. Change the columns to whatever your teacher actually asks for.
- Seven day rows, ready to fill in by hand
- Columns for the book, the minutes, and an adult's initials
- Rename the columns to match your school's own reading record
- Ruled lines at the bottom for the next books on the list

Why the columns are yours to change
Every school wants something slightly different in a reading record: some want minutes, some want pages, some want a parent signature, some want a one-line comment about the book. A log that hard-codes one of those is a log half the people who print it have to cross out and rewrite.
So the column headings are just text you can replace. Type "Pages", "Comment", "Parent signature", or anything else your teacher asks for, and the grid redraws around it.
Twenty minutes a day, and why logging it helps
The usual homework ask is fifteen to twenty minutes of reading a day. The log is not there to police that — it's there because writing something down converts "we read a bit" into a visible week, which is a genuinely different feeling for a child at the end of it.
It also gives you an honest record. Five short entries and two blanks tells you more about how the week went than a memory does, and it makes the conversation with a teacher concrete rather than vague.
Using it over a summer
Summer reading challenges usually count books or minutes over several weeks. Print a sheet per week and keep them in a folder, or change the day column to "Week 1" through "Week 7" using the column labels and track a whole summer on one page instead.
Questions
Can I change the columns to match my child's school log?
Yes — the column headings are editable text. Type in whatever the school asks for and the table adjusts.
Is there room for a parent signature?
Yes, the third column defaults to a grown-up's initials for younger readers. Rename it if you'd rather it said something else.
Can I track pages instead of minutes?
Yes. The tween version uses pages by default, and any column can be renamed on any version.
Can I use this for a summer reading challenge?
Yes — print a sheet a week, or relabel the day column with week numbers to cover a whole summer on one page.
Is it free?
Yes, no account or payment, and the PDF has no watermark.
