I have used this resource successfully with KS3 and KS4 classes. The focus of this resource bundle is to find out about their existing reading habits and then track and monitor their reading after the "Books I Love" reading programme has been introduced. The reading programme encourages students to read and record each reading session on the log, making a note of exact time spent reading, pages read in that time and new vocabulary acquired. Students also need to write a one line comment each time they read summing up an aspect of their reading experience. Most importantly, there is a column that the caregiver must initial each time the student has read. It provides the teacher with valuable evidence of the student's reading habit, with built in accountability as caregivers have to sight and sign the log. Hopefully it also starts a conversation between parents/ children about their reading experience.
Included in this bundle:
The reading survey asks them a series of specific questions about their reading habits so you get comprehensive data on the student's existing reading habit.
The reading log - six pages - but I find just printing out 4 double sided can last a couple of months.
Vocabulary acquisition handout. They acquire new words through using an on-line dictionary, recording it and then adding it to a sticky note with a picture. Research has shown that representing new vocabulary with a picture enables the retention of new vocabulary. This shows them the process.
'Books I Love' Reading programme - basically this introduces them to the importance of reading and keeping a reading log as well as how to acquire new vocabulary and some guidance for selecting appropriate books. There's a QR code that takes them to a user friendly on-line dictionary.
Student review/ Teacher feedback form - A simple review form to capture student's thoughts on what they are reading. You can use it to set a target for the next reading session.
I use these resources for EAL and native English speakers. I find it helps me to report accurately on what and how often students read.
Finally - there are three levels of certificates you can award at the end of the term/ year, recognising student achievement.
All the above can be edited - so you can make your own adjustments.
