Do you need daily or weekly documentation about your student's independent reading habits?
Do you need a template that enables students to monitor their reading habits?
These Status of the Class templates are a GREAT way to record your student's reading habits during independent reading.
When can you use the Status of the Class?
I use Status of the Class at the beginning of each class period when we have 15-20 minutes of silent reading and in conjunction with quick check-ins about their reading progress.
I also incorporate my Aggressive Monitoring forms during this time. For example, I may ask each student to identify the protagonist of their novel. I use the Aggressive Monitoring form to record their response and check for mastery of previously taught concepts. Click here if you'd like to check the Aggressive Monitoring forms.
What information do you record for the Status of the Class?
- Title and genre of the student's book of choice
- Page number the student is on at the beginning/end of class or the school day
- Is the student ready for a comprehension assessment (like A.R.)?
- Did the student complete the book or quit reading it before completion?
- What else? That's up to YOU!!

The way that I see it...
Empowering students to record their habits is a great thing. When you have corresponding records for their journey, you have a very encompassing view of their progress towards a goal over time.
