Reading counts This year we will be using a program called Reading Counts. Reading Counts is a system that levels books and allows children to take reading comprehension tests. Reading Counts will be tracked by month- Each month your child will be required to read at home for a specific amount of minutes. In addition, they will record their readings on the Reading Log which is due at the end of each week.
