Traditional Reading Logs Can Turn Reading Into a Chore
For years, schools had to rely on paper reading logs to track their students’ reading. Their goal was laudable: to get their students to read more.
The problem? Kids don’t like traditional reading logs. That’s why paper reading logs can backfire.
The other issue? Teachers don’t love them, either. It takes too much time and effort for teachers to review paper logs in order to extract the insights buried deep within those pages!
Today, there’s a better way.
Logging Reading with Reading Rewards
Reading Rewards makes it quick & easy for kids to log their independent reading. Plus, it gamifies logging to make it fun!
As they log reading, children can:
- Move up levels
- Earn rewards defined by their parents and teachers
- Win badges for reaching reading milestones
- Earn printable certificates for finishing a book
- Be celebrated for their achievements in the virtual school lobby
- Compete in a class or schoolwide challenge
Reading Rewards also helps children discover great books by visiting their friends’ virtual libraries, and stimulates discussions around reading on the class blog.
