Print the May sheet

One press of Print the reading log prints the kindergarten to grade 2 sheet. Older readers get their own in the Sheet menu, with prompts such as a book to recommend to next year's class and a book you did not finish the first time.

31 days, to the end of the month

May has 31 days. The dated log prints 1 to 31, so it runs to the last day of the month whenever your school year ends. The tracker has 31 boxes. No year is printed on either.

Keep the finished grades 3 to 6 sheets. The titles written beside the next year's class prompt make a list for September.

Questions and answers

What are the May reading prompts?

Kindergarten to grade 2 has 12, such as a book about ladybugs or ants and a story about a trip to the park. Grades 3 to 6 have 12 more, such as a book about how bees make honey.

Does the May reading log work if school ends in May?

Yes. The prompts can be done in any order, so the school ones can come first, and the dated log has a row for every day from 1 to 31 whether it is a school day or not.

Who is the prompt about someone who takes care of you for?

Any adult the child chooses: a parent, a grandparent, a foster parent, an aunt or a neighbor. The sheet names no one, so every child can do it.

Can the May reading log be printed again next year?

Yes. It shows the dates 1 to 31 and no year or weekday, so it does not go out of date.
