Historical Fiction Reading Log

       One of the school wide goals at Sadie Halstead Middle School is to improve students reading skills. As part of the 7th grade social studies class, students are required to read a historical fiction book and present a book review to the class. To help improve and monitor student reading, I have established this Reading Blog. This is an online reading log for students to post responses and reflections of what they are reading, as well as to track their progress about the book they are currently reading. Upon completing this reading log, students will write a book review that will be posted to another website. Have fun!

Log Guideline
       All books must be Reading Counts books that are within 200 points of their lexile scores. Each entry must reflect about what you have read and be posted as a comment under your name. Please avoid chat language, as this is a school assignment.
        Each entry must have a header that includes the book’s title, author’s name, and pages read. The actual log must reflect on the current section read, highlight one of the six reading strategies used  and have supportive details from the text.
