About this resource
Description
Strong readers enjoy many kinds of books, not just one favorite type. This what are they reading by genre assessment worksheet gives teachers a simple way to track which genres each student can read at grade level over the school year, from realistic fiction and fantasy to folktales, informational books, and poetry.
The printable is a one-page landscape teacher form for a single student. Write the student’s name and the school year at the top. Each time the child reads a book successfully at grade level, list its title in the first column and write the date in the box for that book’s genre: realistic fiction, fantasy, folktale, informational, or poetry. As the year goes on, the filled boxes show at a glance which genres the reader has explored and which ones are still empty. It works as a 2nd grade genre reading log for guided reading groups, reading conferences, and report card notes, and you can print a copy for every child in the class.
What’s Included
- A one-page landscape reading record for one student
- A student name and school year line at the top
- Fourteen book rows with a wide column for each title
- Five genre columns for dating each successful read
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Tracking genres makes sure every child reads a balanced mix of stories, poems, and informational texts.
- A dated record shows reading growth across the year and helps teachers choose the next book.
- An empty column points to the genre a student should try next, which keeps reading fresh and fun.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Keep the what are they reading by genre assessment worksheet in each child’s reading folder and add a line whenever the student reads a new book with accuracy and understanding. Before a conference, look for the emptiest column and suggest a book from that genre. Homeschool parents can use one page per child and celebrate when every genre has a date.
