Reader's diary
The school year is ending and all schoolchildren will receive lists of works for summer reading. As a rule, when presenting lists of works, the teacher requires that everything read in the summer be written down in Reader's diary. And this is the requirement to lead Reader's diary often causes indignation of parents, and, consequently, the child begins to have a negative attitude towards this and does not comply with the teacher’s requirements. Of course, this will not lead to anything good.
Let's figure out why and who needs a Reader's Diary?
Some parents say indignantly: “I am against reading diaries. This is a stupid way of writing out the main characters, storylines- sometimes I don’t even remember what someone’s name is and the name of the author is parallel to me. I liked it, read it, and forgot about it.” Based on this comment, it turns out that we read in order to forget?!
Children read works not in order to forget, but in order to take away some thought from any work, to learn something new for themselves. In addition, very often the school holds various competitions, quizzes, intellectual marathons in which you need to remember everything you once read. If a child reads it and forgets, then, of course, he won’t remember anything. Those. The book was read in vain, nothing was left in my head.
“My daughter doesn’t need this, and she does it under pressure.
This does not add to her love of reading.”
Of course, if a child does it under pressure, then positive emotions it won't cause. Yes and Reader's diary not intended to develop a love of reading. It has a completely different goal - to teach the child to draw conclusions from what he read, to help him better remember and understand the work.
There are many parents among parents who support Reader's diary. "IN elementary school BH- This is good. It disciplines. This allows you to dot the i's in the work you read and draw conclusions, at least in two or three sentences. Ultimately, it helps to express your thoughts in writing.”
It is quite rightly noted that conducting Reader's diary disciplines and teaches you to draw conclusions about what you read.
Another mother continues the same thought: “No, he definitely didn’t discourage us from reading or the ability to do it. But new skills, one might say, have appeared. It was clearly visible how in 2nd grade I was generally bad at text analysis; I could barely write a diary. And at 3 it was already easy.”
Why is it needed? reader's diary?
How to write entries in a diary?
For Reader's diary we take the most ordinary notebook, preferably not very thin, so that it will last for the whole year, and not just for the summer. You can also take a general notebook so that it will be enough for all 4 years of study. Let's divide it into several columns.
number in order,
title of the work,
author,
main characters,
“What about?”, “My attitude to the work.”
If you fill it out regularly, it doesn’t take much time, but it does a good job of cementing the work in the children’s memory. And then, when in academic year, we conduct quizzes, extracurricular reading, children turn to their Reader's diary and remember what stories they read, what characters are in fairy tales, the authors of the works and other data.
Moreover, if the work is large and the child reads slowly, then you can write down not only the chapters, but also the page numbers, if the chapter is very large and is read for more than one day.
Some children really like to read Encyclopedias. In this case, they write down the name of the encyclopedia, the title of the article and, of course, what the child learned about. Because reading an encyclopedia is also reading.
For those who are just learning to read on their own, the easiest way is to make entries in the table:
If you liked the book:
you can draw a character you like or paste a coloring picture with him;
find and paste a portrait of the author of the book, write it full name and patronymic.
make illustrations (or comics) based on what you read;
come up with riddles or puzzles about heroes;
make a crossword puzzle based on what you read;
write and “send” a letter to the characters or author of the book in your diary;
find out and write down interesting facts from the writer's biography.
2. Genre of the work (fairy tale, story, story, poetry, fable, epic...)
Age and appearance of the hero.
His character traits.
His favorite activities.
What he likes or doesn’t like, his habits, etc.
Who are his friends? What are they?
Would you like to be like this hero? How?
Is there anything you don’t like about him? Why?
Draw a portrait of your favorite hero.
Draw an illustration for the passage.
6. What will you tell your friend about this book so that he will definitely want to read it?

Topic: Why do you need a reader's diary?
Purpose: to introduce the main purpose of introducing a reading diary in elementary school and the requirements for its design.
Improving reading technique is one of the main tasks of teaching primary schoolchildren. The formation of children not only as a student, but also as a person, the formation of their attitude to learning, school, teacher, comrades, class staff, to themselves, etc. largely depends on how children are taught to read.
Keeping a reading diary will allow you to:
1) fall in love with the book and the process of reading;
2) improve the quality of reading;
3) expand the reader’s horizons;
4) develop his creative abilities; 5) teach the child to draw conclusions from what he read, help the child better remember and understand the work.
In elementary school, it is very difficult for students to formulate their thoughts, not only in writing, but even orally. Ask your child to say what he read about. IN best case scenario, the child will begin to retell the text in great detail and this will drag on for a long time. And say in one sentence what is written in this fairy tale, what this story teaches or main idea Students of grades 1-2 and often even grades 3-4 will not be able to express the text. They just don't know how to do it.
When keeping a reading diary, a child needs to write down the main idea in a separate column and express it in 1-2 sentences. This means that the child learns to draw a conclusion and express it in a very short phrase.
By analyzing the work and formulating a conclusion, the child better remembers the meaning of the work and, if necessary, he will easily remember this work.
By writing down the author of the work and the main characters, the child remembers this data. If this work is read during extracurricular reading, during competitions, quizzes, the child, after leafing through his reading diary, will easily remember both the characters of the work and the plot.
Reading various works and writing down general content in the reader's diary, the child trains not onlywriting skills , but also learns to analyze the work, highlight the main idea of the author, and understand what the author wanted to convey to the reader with his work. The child develops reading skills and reader culture.
Parents, by monitoring the maintenance of a reading diary, can easily track the interests of the child, understand which genre or direction interests the child more and, if necessary, adjust the direction of reading, offer the child books of a different genre.
How to design a reader's diary?
There is no uniform requirement for the design of a reading diary at school. Therefore, each teacher introduces his own requirements.
The main goal of keeping a Reading Diary is not to burden the child and parents with additional work, but to teach them to draw conclusions and develop a reader’s culture. Consequently, the requirements for the Reader's Diary are based on this goal and they are minimal. When keeping a reader's diary, immediately after reading a work or chapter, if the work is large, write down your conclusions.
1. First you need to decide on the design of the reader’s diary. The easiest way is to take a simple checkered notebook as a basis. On the title page you need to write: “Reader's diary”, your first and last name, class (you can design the cover at your discretion).
2. Draw it into several columns:
♦ reading date,
♦ main characters,
♦ My impressions of reading “About what?” Here the child, with the help of his parents, writes down the main idea of the text in 1-2 sentences.
When writing information about the book you read, you can follow the sample given in the table.
In addition, you can indicate the author’s biography and place his photo.
Next, you need to list the main characters of the book, you can give them brief description.
The next point is the presentation of the plot (for example, where and when the events take place, what the conflict is, when it is resolved, etc.)
Here are some questions to help:
Describe the character's appearance.
Name his character traits.
What are his favorite activities?
Who are his friends? What are they?
Would you like to be like this hero? How?
Is there anything you don't like about him? Why?
3. Which passage from the book did you like (or remember) most? What is it about? Why did he leave you indifferent? Write a few words about it. You can draw an illustration for the passage.
You can also format it differently:
If you liked the book:
you can draw a character you like or paste a coloring picture with him,
If you fill it out regularly, it doesn’t take much time, but it does a good job of cementing the work in the child’s memory. And then, during the school year, we conduct quizzes, extracurricular reading, children turn to their Reading Diary and remember what stories they read, what characters are in fairy tales, authors of works and other data. Moreover, if the work is large and the child reads slowly, then individual chapters can be written down.
Teach your child to keep a Reading Diary from the first grade, help him in the second, and then the child will do it himself. By spending very little time filling out the Reading Diary, you will teach your child to analyze what they read, better understand and remember books, and form a culture of reading.

PRACTICE READING EVERY DAY
Literature lessons at school are among the most interesting and exciting. Many modern children enjoy reading epics and fairy tales, express their opinions about the plot and characters, and are not afraid to ask questions. But often this is not enough to get an excellent mark in this subject. We offer you to get acquainted with several recommendations that will help you figure out how to design a reader’s diary.
What is it
A reading diary for a schoolchild is a thick notebook in which students write down quotes from the work they are studying and retell its plot. The benefits of such work are undeniable: if you need to prepare for a test or write an essay, you don’t need to re-read the text, just open your diary and refresh your memory of events or characters.
Design secrets
How to properly design a reader's diary so that it is convenient to use?
- First of all, you need to number the pages and content - this will help you quickly find the work you need.
- It is mandatory to indicate the sections - “Oral folk art", "Literature of the 18th century", "Literature of the 19th century", etc. The titles of these sections should be written in large font, you can use printed capital letters and colored pens. To make the diary look neat, you need to use one color for headings of the same level.
- Within each major section, subsections must be distinguished. Thus, “Literature of the 19th Century” will necessarily include parts of “Pushkin’s Works,” “Lermontov’s Poetry,” “Gogol,” etc., depending on school curriculum. The name of the subsection must also be highlighted and underlined.
As a rule, at school, teachers do not put forward clear requirements for how to design a reading diary, because this is, first of all, a hint for the student. Therefore, you can freely express your imagination.
Shape Features
Very convenient form is a table that includes the following columns:
- Author's full name;
- title of the work;
- main characters;
- place and time of action;
- key events or quotes.
It is very important to make columns of different widths in the table. The last one should be the widest.
How to create a reader's diary without a table? You can write in solid text, underlining or highlighting the names of works, authors and main ideas. Some students with a rich imagination come up with diagrams themselves that depict the relationships of the characters literary work and the events that happened to them. Working on such a presentation of the material will take some time, but remembering the text later will not be difficult.
Content specifics
How to design a reader's diary so that it is easy to prepare for writing an essay? First of all, when retelling, it is necessary to indicate the pages of the book or textbook where this or that event is discussed. This will allow you to quickly find the required place in the text and quote it.
An obligatory part of the diary are quotes from the work, which help to characterize the hero, understand the author's intent, the idea of the text. They can be shortened if necessary, marking the places of reduction with ellipses. It would be useful to indicate the genre and year the text was written; this data can be used in the introduction to the essay. Be sure to write down names of characters that are difficult to pronounce, especially from ancient or foreign literature. This will save a lot of time, because you won’t have to look for them in a book.
Younger students can decorate their notebooks with illustrations and pictures.
Cover
Let's look at how to design the cover of a reader's diary. There are several ways:
- The easiest one is to buy a suitable notebook, on which it will be written “Reader's Diary”; you just need to indicate your full name and class.
- You can buy a regular notebook with a one-color cover and show your imagination: stick an illustration from your favorite work on it, write a few quotes you like, in beautiful letters(for example, in Old Church Slavonic style) display the words “Reader's Diary”. Then the notebook will become a real treasure for any student.
- Using ordinary braid, you can make a bookmark: take a braid whose length is approximately 7 cm longer than the notebook, one end of it is carefully glued with tape in the upper left corner of the back cover, and the rest is placed on the required page. The cover can also be covered with braid.
We looked at how to beautifully design a reader's diary so that for many years he pleased his owner. You should not throw away such notebooks, because when preparing for final and entrance exams in literature, you will need to remember previously studied texts. And diary owners won't have to go to the library.
If you read regularly, then a reading diary may be great idea. Just like a regular journal, a literary journal will chronicle your bookish adventures. Create a separate note for each book you read, write down your thoughts and reasoning. This approach will help you become a thoughtful reader and also improve your writing skills. In addition, if you start to get confused about the plot, writing down your thoughts will help you remember the details. The most important thing is that after some time you can open your diary and reflect on the books you have read.
Steps
Part 1
How to create a reading diary- If you only read a few books a year, a literary journal will be less useful to you. Such a diary is only suitable for very active readers.
-
Choose a method. There are two main options: writing in a regular paper notebook or blogging on the Internet. Some people like to feel a real one in their hands notebook, others prefer the convenience and accessibility of online publications.
- Consider both options and make an informed decision, even if you already have some preferences.
- In some cases, it is convenient to combine paper and electronic records. The computer is not always at hand, and the final conclusions can be saved electronically when you finish reading the book.
-
Buy a quality notebook. If you choose to write by hand, don't use a cheap spring-loaded notebook. It is quite convenient for notes, but wears out quickly. It is better to choose a high-quality and durable notebook with a reliable binding (leather).
- In addition to reliability, you should like the notebook, because it will serve as your diary for more than one month. Writers often have an emotional attachment to a journal, so buy a quality notebook that suits your tastes.
-
Create a blog. A blog is a free online diary. This way you won't have to think about what free space in the diary may end. A blog makes it easier to organize and find content. In addition, the blog may gain a readership.
Register for LiveLib. If you want to keep track of the books you read on the Internet, then LiveLib will be a better choice than a simple blog. LiveLib is a site that allows people to track their reading habits and post thoughts about the books they read. A pleasant addition will be an extensive database of materials and an active community of book lovers.
Part 2
How to keep a diary-
Specify important information about the book. Each individual article should include basic information: the author's name and the title of the book. Highlight such data in bold or other external features so that they stand out on the page or screen. This will make it easier for you to see key information in large volumes text.
Write down facts that are easy to forget. Our memory is unreliable. Even if you are delighted with the book, it is not a fact that in a year you will be able to remember the details of the plot. The more you read, the more often this problem arises. Of course, you don't have to write down every little detail, but at least include the ideas that interested or surprised you.
- Such nuggets of information will become clues that will help you remember other details.
-
Write down your favorite quotes in your journal. IN good books There are always lines that will tug at your heartstrings. You don't have to write everything, but choose a few quotes from the book that are worth transcribing verbatim. An excellent choice would be quotes that encapsulate the essence of the book.
Comment on the author's style and techniques. Some diaries write only about the content of books, but it is no less interesting to evaluate the form of the work and the author’s techniques. Analyze the author's perspective (first or third person), the volume of the book, images and artistic media, which are used in the work.
- Complete the entry with your assessment of the effectiveness and appropriateness of the author's techniques. Your journal entry may constitute an informal review. Carefully explore various technical aspects to learn how to distinguish good writing from bad.
-
Indicate the time and place of creation of each entry. A literary diary is not just a list of books read. Like any diary, it will contain indirect judgments about the events of your life. Life experience influences the books you read, and books, in turn, can represent life stages and periods of time. Keep this in mind and indicate the place and time when you read this book and created a note.
- Write down facts that connect the book to life events to help you remember both aspects better. Strengthen and expand associations between the book and life circumstances.
-
Relate the book to your life. Over time, it will be easier for you to understand the emotions when reading a book if you indicate your thoughts and events that you had to deal with at that moment. General information(where you lived, with whom you were in a relationship) will help you remember many details of a given time period.
- Thanks to background information, it will be easier to remember the mood and way of thinking with which you read the book. This will help explain the focus on specific quotes or certain thoughts.
- Naturally, deeply personal details should be indicated only in personal literary diary, which cannot be read by outsiders.
-
Think about how the book affected you. Books are an option for leisure and entertainment, but they also help us develop. Many of the books you read will not leave lasting impressions, but some will definitely influence your life. If a book has forever changed your worldview, indicate this fact at the end of the note.
- You can also highlight these points in bold so that years later, when you glance at your notes, it will be easier to find the thoughts that were especially meaningful to you.
Part 3
How to form good habits-
Set reading goals for yourself. Reading books is interesting, but for active reading requires a little more motivation than watching TV or playing video games. Some people set goals to motivate themselves. For example, if you want to read more, but write: “I will read three books this month.”
-
Check out the benefits of a diary. The usefulness of a reading diary depends on how much and often you read. If you read almost every day, then over the course of a year you probably accumulate so many books that it’s impossible to remember in all the details. Can't remember important points from those books that you read just a few months ago? Keep a literary diary, as the process of writing down your thoughts helps you remember information better.
The school year has ended and all schoolchildren received lists of works for. As a rule, when handing out lists of works, the teacher requires that everything read in the summer be written down. And this requirement to keep a Reading Diary often causes indignation among parents, and consequently, the child begins to have a negative attitude towards this and does not comply with the teacher’s demands. Of course, this will not lead to anything good.
Let's figure out why and who needs it
Some parents say indignantly: “I am against reading diaries. This is a stupid writing out of the main characters, plot lines - sometimes I don’t even remember who’s name and the author’s name is parallel to me. I liked it, read it, and forgot about it.” Based on this comment, it turns out that We read in order to forget?!
Children read works not in order to forget, but in order to take away some thought from any work, to learn something new for themselves. In addition, very often the school holds various competitions, quizzes, intellectual marathons, in which you need to remember everything you once read. If a child reads it and forgets, then, of course, he won’t remember anything. Those. The book was read in vain, nothing was left in my head.
“Mine doesn’t need this, and she does it under pressure. It doesn’t make her any better.” Of course, if a child does it under pressure, it will not cause positive emotions. And it is not intended to develop a love of reading. It has a completely different goal - to teach the child to draw conclusions from what he read, to help the child better remember and understand the work.
There are many parents among parents who support Reader's diary. “At the beginning, black hole is good. It disciplines. This allows you to dot the i's in what you read and draw conclusions, at least two or three sentences. And in the end, it helps to express your thoughts in writing.” It is absolutely rightly noted that keeping a Reader’s Diary disciplines and teaches you to draw conclusions about what you read.
Another mother continues the same thought: “No, he definitely didn’t discourage us from reading or the ability to do it. But new skills, one might say, have appeared. It was clearly visible how in 2nd grade I was generally bad at text analysis; I could barely write a diary. And at 3 it was already easy”
So why do you need a Reader's Diary?
In elementary school, it is very difficult for students to formulate their thoughts, not only in writing, but even orally. Ask your child to say what he read about. In the best case, the child will begin to retell the text in great detail and this will drag on for a long time. But students in grades 1-2 and often even grades 3-4 will not be able to say in one sentence what is written in this fairy tale, what this story teaches, or the main idea of the text. They just don't know how to do it.
When conducting Reader's diary The child needs to write down the main idea in a separate column and express it in 1-2 sentences. This means that the child learns to draw a conclusion and express it in a very short phrase.
By analyzing the work and formulating a conclusion, the child better remembers the meaning of the work and, if necessary, he will easily remember this work.
By writing down the author of the work and the main characters, the child remembers this data. If this work is read during extracurricular reading, during competitions, quizzes, the child, after leafing through his reading diary, will easily remember both the characters of the work and the plot.
By reading various works and writing down the general content in a reading diary, the child not only trains, but also learns to analyze the work, highlight the main idea of the author, and understand what the author wanted to convey to the reader with his work. The child develops reading skills and reader culture.
Parents, by monitoring the maintenance of a reading diary, can easily track the interests of the child, understand which genre or direction interests the child more and, if necessary, adjust the direction of reading, offer the child books of a different genre.
How to design a reader's diary?
There is no uniform requirement for the design of a reading diary at school. Therefore, each teacher introduces his own requirements. I will show you how I require you to keep a Reader's Diary, and you yourself will choose the form of keeping a diary.
The main goal of keeping a Reading Diary is not to burden the child and parents with additional work, but to teach them to draw conclusions and develop a reader’s culture. Consequently, the requirements for the Reader's Diary are based on this goal. Therefore, my requirements forFormation is minimal. When keeping a reader's diary, immediately after reading a work or chapter, if the work is large, write down your conclusions.
For the Reader's Diary, we take a very ordinary notebook, preferably not very thin, so that it will last for the whole year, and not just for the summer. Let's break it down into several columns:
♦ reading date,
♦ title of the work,
♦ main characters,
♦ "About what?" Here the child, with the help of his parents, writes down the main idea of the text in 1-2 sentences.
If you fill it out regularly, it doesn’t take much time, but it does a good job of cementing the work in the child’s memory. And then, when during the school year, we conduct quizzes, extracurricular reading, children turn to their Reader’s Diary and remember what stories by N. Nosov they read, what characters are in fairy tales, authors of works and other data.
Moreover, if the work is large and the child reads slowly, then you can write down not only the chapters, but also the page numbers, if the chapter is very large and is read for more than one day.
Teach your child to keep a Reading Diary from the first grade, help him in the second, and then the child will do it himself. By spending very little time filling out the Reading Diary, you will teach your child to analyze what they read, better understand and remember books, and form a culture of reading.
It is interesting to know your opinion on the issue of maintaining a Reader's Diary. How do you lead it?
