How do I track my child's summer reading?

Set a daily reading goal in MiloMint (15, 30, 45 minutes, or an hour). Each day your child taps to say they read and which book — you approve with one tap. MiloMint keeps the running log and prints it for school whenever you need it.

Does my child need a phone to log reading?

No. Younger kids who don't have a device: you confirm the reading yourself from your phone in one tap. Older kids with their own Kid Code can tap 'I read today' and the book, and it waits for your approval — points only count once you approve.

Can I print a summer reading log for my child's teacher?

Yes. MiloMint generates a clean, one-page monthly reading log — every confirmed day with the date, minutes, and book title, plus a parent signature line. Print it or share it as a named PDF ("MiloMint - Maya - Reading Log - June 2026.pdf"). It's the paper record schools ask for.

What if my child reads more than one book in a day?

That's fine and encouraged. A morning book and an afternoon book both stack onto the same day — both titles show on the log. Reading more keeps growing their lifetime minutes and levels; the daily reward still counts once.

Is reading tracking free?

Reading goals, streaks, levels, and the kid's daily log are part of MiloMint. The printable reading log and the snap-the-book-cover camera are MiloMint Plus ($3.99/month or $29.99/year), which also includes Snap & Import and all printing.

Reading

The summer reading log that fills itself — and prints for the teacher

June 13, 2026 · 4 min read · By the MiloMint team

Every summer the school sends the same note: decide on a way to keep track of what is being read — a chart, an app, etc. MiloMint is both. Set a daily goal, let your kid log the book (or snap the cover), approve with one tap, and print the signed log school asks for — no clipboard on the fridge, no lost paper in August.

1. Set a daily reading goal

Open Reading from your child's profile and pick a daily goal — 15, 30, 45 minutes, or a full hour. That's the whole setup. From then on, MiloMint shows a reading card for that child with a level (New Reader → Page Turner → Bookworm → Story Master → Library Legend), a streak, and the running book log you can show school.

2. Kids log the book — you approve

Each day your child taps “I read today” and names the book — one tap for the same book they're partway through, or a fresh entry for a new one. They can even snap the cover and MiloMint reads the title for them. Nothing counts until you approve, so the points stay honest and the log stays true. Younger kids without a device? You confirm it yourself in one tap.

Read more than one book in a day? Both stack onto the same date and both show on the log. Reading keeps growing lifetime minutes and levels — the daily reward just counts once, so there's no way to game it, only to enjoy it.

3. Print the log school asks for

When the teacher wants proof, open Print and choose Reading log. MiloMint lays out the whole month — every confirmed day with the date, minutes, and book — on one clean page with a parent signature line and a MiloMint code in the corner. Print it, or share it as a tidy named PDF (MiloMint - Maya - Reading Log - June 2026.pdf) straight to email.

Why families like it for summer

It survives the summer. No clipboard to lose — the log lives in the app and rebuilds the moment you print.
It builds a habit, not a chore. Streaks and levels make a 20-minute reading goal something kids chase, with one free “oops day” a week so a single missed day doesn’t break the run.
It connects to screen time. In MiloMint, reading is the thing you build up while screen time is the thing you wind down — one calm system, two directions.
The teacher gets real paper. A signed, dated, one-page log is exactly what most summer-reading programs ask for.
