Instructional Ideas

• Come up with a special scoring system as a class so that kids can learn how to evaluate books
• Keep track of your class members' progress with a progression of these reading logs

Classroom Considerations

• It's a bit unclear what the resource means by level, so you may wish to clarify this for students
• This would work best with picture books or other short books; children may find it very challenging to read several novels a week

Pros

• Promotes setting goals
• Encourages pupils to read independently at an early age

Cons

• None
