 What is a Reading Calendar / Log and why is it important?
Research shows that being read to is the most important factor in a child’s, 
acquisition of reading skills.  The teachers at PKS decided that to increase 
the amount of books being read to, with, or by a child, families could keep 
a Reading Calendar / Log.  
Teachers turn in the total of all the reading logs in their class to the 
librarian.  The class that has read the most gets a blue ribbon to hang 
beside their wagon.  The wagon has a calendar to show how many books the 
class read each month.  The wagons are on the library wall in our hallway.  
I also post the numbers outside our door.
Nothing is said to a child about not returning a Reading Log.  This is 
merely a way to increase reading at home.

 When  can children check out books from the library?
The whole class goes to the library every other Friday. On the week we have 
music, the children who return their books on Thursday can go to the library 
and check out another book. This allows the children to check out a book 
every week.
