Did they really read it?

Turn any chapter book into a printable reading journal — thoughtful questions, room to reflect, ready to fold, staple, and hand over.

1Book & Reader

All optional. Fill in what you like to have it printed on the cover — or leave any field blank to give your child space to write it in themselves.

8.5 × 11 in sheets → 5.5 × 8.5 in pages.

    Booklet PDF is the one to print — landscape, double-sided (flip on short edge), then fold & staple. Standard PDF is one page per sheet and does not fold into a booklet.

    How to print the booklet
    1. Download and open the Booklet PDF (not the Standard PDF).
    2. Paper size: 8.5 × 11 (US Letter)
    3. Layout: 1 page per sheet (the two half-pages are already on each sheet)
    4. Orientation: Landscape
    5. Double-sided: Onflip on short edge
    6. Scale: 100% (don't "fit to page")
    7. Fold the stack in half, then staple on the fold.

    If the back sides come out upside-down, switch the double-sided setting to the other binding (long edge ⟷ short edge).

    ✨ Generate for this book

    Search for the book, choose a reading level and a few options, and we'll fill in chapter questions plus example answers. Questions are as book-accurate as the model's knowledge — for lesser-known titles they'll be thoughtful but thematic rather than chapter-specific.
