We have done it both ways; counting books read and minutes. This year we are counting books read again. I polled parents and they wanted to record the books their child had read, rather than watch the clock. If we are doing anything that is based on how much you have read, I make the adjustment in the requirements.

Hello Everyone,
I'm just starting out as a Youth Librarian and taking over working on a summer program that has already been somewhat laid out. I am working on the summer reading guidelines for kids. I am wondering what you do for the 3rd grade and up kids. Do you count pages read or minutes read? I'm debating between the two, but wanted to get other's opinions. Do you allow audiobooks to count as reading time?

Thanks so much,
Kristin Hammond
