Schools ask for different things
Reading logs get set by teachers with specific requirements: date and minutes, or date and pages, or title and a parent signature. A pre-printed log with the wrong columns is worse than a blank grid, because it implies the wrong thing is being tracked. Five columns covers most versions, and you can change the count in the generator if your school wants six or three.
Minutes or pages, and why it matters
Logging minutes measures effort and works for a child reading slowly through something hard. Logging pages measures progress and works for fluent readers. Logging both, which some schools want, produces a reading rate that is genuinely useful for spotting whether a book is too difficult. Pick before you print rather than trying to squeeze both into a column afterwards.
Keep it where the reading happens
A log filled in from memory on Sunday night records your memory rather than the week. Keep it with the book, or clipped inside the front cover. This is the same reason the habit tracker works better on a fridge than in a drawer: a grid only helps if marking it is easier than not marking it.
Printing it accurately
This only measures correctly if your printer doesn't rescale the page. In the print dialog set Scale: 100%, not "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages". If you're not sure it worked, print the calibration page, measure the ruler on it with a real ruler, and it will tell you exactly what your printer is doing to the page.
