Kids Reading Log Printable, Ages 6 to 10, Drawing Boxes and Minutes Chart

A reading log for children ages 6 to 10, in large type, with a drawing box for each book. It is 7 pages.

How to Use This Log (page 2): five short steps a child can follow.

My Book (page 3): title, author and the day it was done, a big box to draw the favorite part, three lines to write about it, Easy, Just right or Hard, and five stars.

Two Books (page 4): two smaller drawing boxes on one sheet, for shorter books.

My Reading Minutes (page 5): two weeks on one page, Monday to Sunday. Each box is 10 minutes and each day goes up to 60.

My 50-Book Caterpillar (page 6): circles numbered 1 to 50 to color, one for each book.

Books I Want to Read (page 7): 12 numbered lines with a box to check.

The child's pages are set in Andika, a typeface designed for literacy use, with all text at 14 point or larger.

HOW THIS WAS MADE
AI helped write the listing text, the how-to text and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: the 14-point minimum on every child page, the Andika font, the drawing boxes on pages 3 and 4, the two minutes charts, the numbers 1 to 50 on the caterpillar, text overflow on every page and ink near the page edge. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.

COMPATIBILITY
Print PDF. Page sizes in the files: US Letter 612 x 792 pt and A4 595 x 842 pt. A script confirmed the sizes, that the fonts are embedded and that no ink falls within 0.25 inch of the page edge. Test printing on a real printer has not been recorded for this file.

QUESTIONS AND HOW-TO
What age is it for? It is written for ages 6 to 10. A younger child can draw and color while a grown-up fills in the title.

What do I print again? Pages 3 and 4 run out first, and page 5 when the two weeks are done. Page 6 lasts for 50 books.

Can I use it with a class? The license is for personal use, so one family or one child.

Are there lessons or questions to answer? No. It is a log: a child records what they read, draws and colors.

Print settings for this PDF

Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader or Preview, not in a browser tab. Browsers can change the scale without telling you.

In the print window, pick the paper size that matches the file name.

In Acrobat Reader, set Page Sizing to Actual Size. In Preview, set Scale to 100%. If the edges get cut off, switch to Fit in Acrobat Reader or Scale to Fit in Preview.

Print one page first and check it before you print the rest.

To print only some pages, type the numbers in the Pages box, for example 3-8.

For double-sided pages, choose flip on long edge for portrait pages.

A4 or US Letter

US Letter is 8.5 x 11 inches (216 x 279 mm). It is the usual paper in the United States and Canada.

A4 is 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches). It is the usual paper in most other countries.

The paper size is in each file name. Print the one that matches the paper in your printer.

If you only have the other size, use Fit or Scale to Fit in the print window. The page will come out slightly smaller, with wider margins.
