About this reading chart

A reading chart makes reading practice visible for young readers. Each box stands for one reading session (say 20 minutes) or one book, and children colour a box each time. Fill the chart, earn the reward.

It’s perfect for summer reading challenges and home reading programmes. Older readers can log titles with the reading log.

What’s on the page

Frequently asked questions

How many boxes should a reading chart have?

Thirty is a good month-long challenge. Smaller children may prefer a shorter goal.

Will it print well in black and white?

Yes. The layout uses light fills and clear lines that print cleanly in grey. Choose the “Grey” colour to save colour ink entirely.

Can I fill in the reading chart on my phone or tablet?

Yes. Switch on “Fillable PDF” before downloading and the PDF gets typing boxes and tick boxes you can use in most PDF apps. Or print it and use a pen.

What paper size should I print on?

Choose A4 or US Letter before downloading, and print at 100% or “Actual size”. Portrait and landscape layouts are both available.

Can I remove the atifo.app line at the bottom?

Yes. Switch off “Show atifo.app credit” in the Look section and the PDF has no branding at all.
