Summer Reading Club

The question

Choose the best answer.

The poster says to color in one star on your reading log. What is a reading log?

  • a record of the days you readCorrect answer
  • a piece of wood from a tree
  • a list of books the library owns
  • a ticket to get into Story Time

Why “a record of the days you read” is correct

Log is a multiple-meaning word. Most students know it as a piece of a tree, but here it means a written record. The clues are "color in one star" each day you read and "bring your log" to get a prize, which show it is a sheet for keeping track.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • a piece of wood from a tree — This is another meaning of log, but it does not fit a reading club poster.
  • a list of books the library owns — The log is yours, and you color in stars for days you read.
  • a ticket to get into Story Time — Story Time is free, and the log is not a ticket.
