Free Printable 100 Book Challenge Chart

About these 100 book challenge handouts

A hundred books sounds big, so this chart breaks it into a hundred small wins. It is a 10 by 10 grid where every box has a number and a small line for a title. Students color or stamp a box each time they finish a book, and four starred boxes mark celebrations at 25, 50, 75 and 100.

The chart fits on one page, so it works well taped inside a folder or on a desk. The writing line under each number is optional. Younger students can simply color a box, and older students can write the title and keep a record of what they read.

A challenge like this supports many reading goals, from picture books in kindergarten to chapter books in the upper grades. Count read-alouds if you like. The chart belongs to the student, so it carries no website branding.

A shared wall version works too. Print one chart for the class, color a box whenever the whole group finishes a read-aloud, and watch the class move toward the first star together.

Type your name, the student's name and the start date in the fill-in boxes before printing.
