About this resource
Description
Nonfiction comes in many forms, from true storybooks and photo essays to autobiographies, informational books, and journals. This tracking reading at grade level nonfiction worksheet gives teachers one simple class record for noting when each student successfully reads every type of nonfiction text at grade level during the school year.
The printable is a landscape teacher form with room for sixteen students. Write each student’s name once in the first column, then record the date in the box for each text type as the student reads it successfully: nonfiction storybook, photo essay, autobiography, informational book, and journal or diary. Because every child has a single row, the chart reads two ways. Look across a row to see which kinds of nonfiction one reader has mastered, or look down a column to see which text type the whole class still needs. It works as a 3rd grade reading log for guided reading groups, reading conferences, and progress checks, and you can print several copies for a larger class.
What’s Included
- A one-page landscape class record for tracking nonfiction reading at grade level
- Columns for five nonfiction text types plus a student name column
- Sixteen student rows with roomy cells for writing dates
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Tracking text types makes sure every student reads a wide variety of nonfiction, not only one favorite kind.
- A dated record shows growth across the year and helps teachers plan the next book for each reader.
- Seeing gaps down a column tells teachers which text type to teach or model next with the whole class.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Keep the tracking reading at grade level nonfiction worksheet on a clipboard during guided reading and add a date whenever a student reads a new text type with accuracy and understanding. Pair it with a fiction record to balance each child’s reading diet. Parents who homeschool can use one row per child and celebrate when every box in a row is filled.
