Reading Log

I'm happy to see most children still coming in with about 5 books written down per week. I see a few of the reading logs slowing down. Please make sure you are writing your child's books down or having them do it on their own. We are at a point in the year where the children need to start building and practicing their independence. They can identify title and author, so it surely wouldn't hurt to have them write down 1 out of 5 books so they can get into the routine. 2nd grade holds high expectations and I want to make sure they are prepared.
In addition we are at the point where the kids should be reading most of their books independently. I think it is WONDERFUL if you read from a higher level chapter book, but books in their reading log should ONLY be books that THEY read from here on out. They are rewarded for every 10 books they read and I think it's only fair that now they are rewarded for books they read. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this.
