Daily Reading Logs

Help your students keep up with their daily reading with these 5 Google Forms.

What's In the Reading Log:

Part One: The Basics. Name, what did they read, and for how long.

Part Two: Digging Deeper. Students answer what part of the plot diagram they are in and how they know. In addition, each day has a different question that requires students to analyze character's thoughts, feelings, and actions. For example, one question states, "If you could give the main character one piece of advice, what would it be?"

Part three: Standards Based Questions. Two questions based off the Power Standards for middle school (RL 1, 2, 3, 4, 6)
