Charts for growing readers
This set includes reading reward charts with spaces for daily reading, book titles, minutes, pages or small milestones. Young children can colour a picture, add a sticker or mark one reading session. Older children can write the title, author, pages read and a short response. The templates suit shared reading, independent reading and read-aloud time. Choose one simple measure at a time so the chart stays clear. A child who is just starting can work towards a weekly goal, while a confident reader can track a longer book or a personal reading target.
Use the chart at home or school
At home, keep the chart near the child's books and fill it in after the bedtime story or quiet reading time. Let your child choose a small reward such as selecting the next story, having extra time for a favourite game or reading to a family member. In class, children can record silent reading, library books or partner reading. A teacher may set a class goal without comparing children. The Homework Chart can help families keep reading time alongside other after-school tasks.
Keep reading goals fair and useful
A common mistake is rewarding only the number of pages. A large-print early reader and a chapter book do not take the same effort, so minutes, reading sessions or personal goals may be fairer. Avoid changing the target every day, as children need to know what counts. Read the chart together and praise useful habits such as choosing a book, trying a new word or returning to a tricky paragraph. If a child dislikes the chart, make the goal smaller, offer two template choices or use it for shared reading instead of independent reading.
Lumi's tips
- For a younger child, use one sticker or coloured mark for each story, song book or shared reading session.
- For an older child, add the book title, pages read and one sentence about a favourite part or new word.
- Link the reward to reading life by letting your child choose a library book, read a recipe or share a story with a younger sibling.

Questions parents ask
What is a reading reward chart?
It is a simple chart that records a child's reading sessions, books, pages or minutes. A child can add a mark, sticker, colour or note after reading.
How do I use a reading reward chart with a 3-year-old?
Keep the goal small, such as one shared story. Let your child add a sticker or colour a space after the story, and talk about the pictures or favourite part.
What should I reward on a reading chart?
You can reward steady effort, choosing a book, listening carefully or completing a personal reading goal. Small activity-based rewards often keep the focus on enjoying books.
