5th Grade Independent Reading Logs
My 5th grade students maintain reading logs for the books they are reading independently. Students are given freedom in choosing topics for their writing, so long as they are completing an entry after each independent reading session. They take their reading logs home on a daily basis to review with their parents and get them signed. I collect reading logs throughout the week (each student has a designated day that their log is to be turned in) and provide feedback.
