Free June Reading Log Printable

A June reading log is one of our favorite ways to keep kids motivated to read during the summer months.

It’s simple, visual, and easy enough for young readers to use on their own.

My son used to love tracking his progress by coloring in a sun for each finished book, it gave him a clear goal and a reason to pick up another story.

This free June printable is a fun, low-prep way to support reading all month long.

What’s Included in the June Reading Tracker

This single-page June reading log is designed to be simple and fun for kids to use on their own. It includes:

• A space at the top to write their name, because kids love when something feels just for them
• A row of sunny icons they can color in after each finished book
• A spot at the bottom that says “I read ___ books this month!” so they can celebrate their total
• A clean, uncluttered layout that works well for all reading levels, even early readers

How the June Reading Log Works

Each time your child finishes a book, they color in one of the suns.

It’s a visual way to track progress that feels rewarding without pressure.

By the end of the month, they’ll have a colorful snapshot of everything they’ve read and a final count to fill in.

It’s easy to follow and can be used independently or together during a regular reading check-in.

Educational Benefits

Encourages daily reading – Having something simple to fill out each time they finish a book helps kids stick with it. Coloring in a sun becomes a small but satisfying reward.

Builds ownership – When kids track their own reading, they start to take more pride in it. It’s their log, their books, their progress.

Makes reading goals feel doable – Whether it’s five books or twenty, setting a goal based on how many suns to color gives the month a bit more focus.

Boosts confidence – Seeing the page fill up is a great visual reminder of how much they’ve read, and it helps them feel proud of that effort.

Sneaky fine motor practice – Every time they color in a sun, they’re also working on hand control and coordination (without even realizing it).

Best Books We Love Reading in June

June always feels like the start of something fun, and these are the books we keep coming back to at the beginning of summer:

The Tiny Seed – This one never gets old. The story follows a single seed through the seasons, and it’s such a gentle way to talk about nature, growth, and patience. We usually read it right before planting something small outside, just to connect it a little more to real life.

Froggy’s Day with Dad – With Father’s Day in June, this is a go-to. It’s silly and sweet, and kids really relate to Froggy’s enthusiasm (even when things don’t go perfectly). Great for a quick read that still feels tied to the month.

Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer – This one’s for the older kids who want a bit of adventure. It’s full of summer dares and wild ideas, great for inspiring your own summer bucket list. My son loved it for the humor, and I appreciated how it kept him reaching for the next chapter.

More Fun June Activities

If you’re looking for a few more ways to keep kids engaged this month, here are some of our favorite June printable activities to go along with the reading log.

Father’s Day bookmarks – These make a sweet and simple gift. Kids can color the designs and write a short message on the back. Perfect for slipping into Dad’s favorite book.

Juneteenth color by number – A thoughtful way to introduce younger children to the significance of Juneteenth through art. Each section reveals an image related to the holiday as kids match colors to numbers.

June word scramble – A fun, low-prep literacy activity filled with seasonal words. Great for quiet time or as a warm-up in the morning, and it’s just challenging enough to keep early readers thinking.
