What is a reading log?
Reading log is a journal where a person can record his/her reading activity. It is a note of what did you read, when did you read and how many pages you read. It is a great way to summarize what a person reads. Many people make habit of keeping a reading log as it can help expand their overall enjoyment of the literature. In pure academic terms, it is known as student-kept record of books read for a specific period, generally by date.
It is a simple and the best method to note down a reader’s thoughts about a book (or any other material), his/her own connection with the text, language, plot, theme and/or characters he/she came to know. Making a log about what you read helps you gain insight of the texts. This is the place where you can record your own reactions and reflections. If you are in habit of reading everyday, at least for half an hour (to a full hour), then making a reading log will help you organize and summarize your reading. (It’s no wonder that you know how important reading is, and how a reading log can help, as you are already reading this!)
A reading log keeps track of your reading. It gives you more memorable literary experience, as you can vent out your thoughts about the book’s content you just read. It can give a reader real sense of achievement. This diary can become a valuable resource for the reader himself and also for people with whom he/she can share. They can get a suggestion about good read as well as understanding of varied literature types from such a record.
In other words, a reading log helps a reader to keep track on what he/she is reading. It is a way to show that you are being thoughtful about what you are reading. The idea of making a reading log helps a reader on not only hooked on reading, but also to get hooked on to think on what he/she is reading.
So, take a few moments to record your understandings, “aha” moments and puzzles or questions about literature you capture in your memory. It helps to enhance your response to text. And an electronic log at www.myreadinglog.net is a sure way to make it much easier to note down your thoughts, quickly, efficiently and at your convenience.
