Keeping up with who’s reading, and how much, shouldn’t require chasing down crumpled papers or decoding half-filled logs. That’s why we built the Daily Reading Tracker: an easy-to-use, visual tool designed to give educators a big-picture overview of student reading habits.
Whether you aim to replace paper logs, spot trends, or celebrate consistent reading, this new feature simplifies the process and puts meaningful data at your fingertips. Built with busy classrooms and even busier teachers in mind, this feature helps schools build stronger reading cultures, one day (and one log) at a time. Keep reading to learn more!
Say Goodbye to Paper Logs
Finally, a reading log that can’t be misplaced, spilled on, or “eaten by the dog.” The Daily Reading Tracker provides an easy-to-parse overview of reading habits over time. This visual dashboard lets you see daily and weekly reading habits for every classroom and student. You can monitor total minutes logged, progress toward classroom goals, and view previous weeks to uncover trends and identify when students might need extra support.
Celebrate Consistent Habits With Leaderboards
The Daily Reading Tracker features two class-level leaderboards that give Admins a quick, clear snapshot of the top readers in each class, which makes it easy to celebrate consistent reading habits and recognize students’ hard work.
You can choose how the top students are ranked based on the view selected:
- The percentages view shows the students who achieved the highest percentage of the baseline goal on average that week.
- The totals view highlights the students who logged the most minutes that week.
Whether you're celebrating students who are steadily meeting their goals or those going above and beyond, these leaderboards make it simple to recognize and reward your top readers.
Built With Teachers In Mind
We know that getting the whole school on board—especially teachers—is key to building a strong reading culture. The Daily Reading Tracker simplifies the process by offering a seamless transition from the weekly paper logs many teachers rely on. With intuitive visuals and time-saving insights, it’s a powerful addition to your reading culture toolkit.
