Reading Record

[Heckythump1]

What sort of things do you write in the reading record? (DD is in Y1)
and do you write in everything they've read, not just the school books?

Hi, i work in primary education.
Just write what page they read to, maybe whether child enjoyed it or struggled with a particular word or whether they could answer a question about it :)

You can share any reading too! Any reading is good reading!

Title of book plus a tick. It’s not about what you say - it’s to encourage parents to read with their child regularly.

Usually just title, page number & my initials.
Sometimes I mix it up with a "book finished" or "good reading".

In our school the teachers have stopped writing in it under school policy (they have basically stopped marking the homework, most don’t even bother reading it)
So I have stopped writing anything in it 🙁😞
It doesn’t mean I don’t read with my child every night!

Title, what pages were read, and usually a brief comment such as “well read”, “needed help with a few words” or “found this book challenging”. DH only ever writes the title and pages!

My Year 3s school ask for a description so anything they're struggling with plus page number and book title.

I only include the books she brings home but I know others include all the books they read.
