Description
A reading log helps young readers see how far they have come, and the Books I Am Reading Worksheet gives first graders a simple, friendly place to track every book they finish. In first grade, children are reading their first real books on their own, and writing down each title is a proud moment. A running list in their own handwriting shows them that they are readers, and it gives you a clear window into the books each child picks.
This 1st grade reading log worksheet adds one more step that young readers love: rating the book. The page has three columns, Date, Book Title and My Stars, with eleven tall rows sized for first grade handwriting. A student writes the date, copies the title from the cover, and colors one, two or three stars to show how much they liked the book. A Star Key at the top of the page explains the ratings, so every child knows that one star means OK, two stars mean good, and three stars mean great.
What’s Included
- One printable reading log page built for 1st grade readers
- A Star Key strip that explains the one, two and three star ratings
- Eleven roomy log rows with a Date, Book Title and My Stars column
- Three outline stars in every row for students to color
- A Name and Date line and a Letter-size PDF that prints in color or grayscale
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It makes progress visible. A first grader who sees a page filling up with titles feels like a real reader, and that feeling keeps them reaching for the next book.
- It builds opinion thinking. Coloring the stars asks a child to decide how they felt about a story, which is the first step toward sharing and explaining an opinion about a book.
- It practices careful copying. Writing a title from the cover gives meaningful handwriting and spelling practice with words the child actually cares about.
Teacher and Parent Ideas
Keep the Books I Am Reading Worksheet in each student’s book bin or reading folder and add a line after independent reading time. During a reading conference, point to a three-star book and ask what made it great, or to a one-star book and ask what the child would change. Collect the pages at the end of a month to spot favorite authors and topics for your next library visit. At home, post the log on the refrigerator and fill in a row together after a bedtime story.
