Reading log for kids template

A reading log works best when children can see their reading grow. This example turns the log into a bookshelf where every finished book becomes a coloured spine, sorted by story, funny, facts, poems or comics, with a progress bar towards a 20-book challenge, a favourite book card with star rating and a simple daily log of pages, minutes and a grown-up signature.
