Many organizations and libraries celebrate summer with reading incentive programs. We thought we would share some great ways to keep track of all the reading the kiddos are doing this summer (and throughout the year) with some fun and creative reading logs that we have run across. And even if you are not participating in one of the programs available, these make a wonderful reading record keepsake.
