Twenty minutes of reading per day is a common homework assignment, but it\u2019s also a good-for-you personal goal. Scholastic\u2019s research shows that \u201ctwenty-one minutes a day of reading outside of school results in higher scores on reading achievement tests and an increase of more than 1.8 million reading words annually (Fisher &amp; Frey, 2018).&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help your whole family track their reading stats, we\u2019ve provided four free reading trackers. They\u2019re a simple, fun way to visualize progress toward their reading goals. Print out multiple copies and make reading a fun activity for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bookclubs.scholastic.ca\/on\/demandware.static\/-\/Sites-cec-ca-Library\/default\/2025\/pdf\/scholastic-september-habit-tracker-printable1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">September Book Tracker<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bookclubs.scholastic.ca\/on\/demandware.static\/-\/Sites-cec-ca-Library\/default\/2025\/pdf\/scholastic-october-habit-tracker-printable1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">October Book Tracker<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bookclubs.scholastic.ca\/on\/demandware.static\/-\/Sites-cec-ca-Library\/default\/2025\/pdf\/scholastic-november-habit-tracker.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">November Book Tracker<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bookclubs.scholastic.ca\/on\/demandware.static\/-\/Sites-cec-ca-Library\/default\/2025\/pdf\/scholastic-december-habit-tracker-printable.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">December Book Tracker<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Need new favourite family reads to add to your fancy new trackers?
