Portuguese term

em dia

Portuguese to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
"Você está em dia com a sua leitura?"

The context is that you are following a reading plan where you have to read a certain portion every. If you get behind, you have to catch up. How would you ask, "Você está em dia com a leitura?" in English?

Thank you for your help!
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Diana Coada (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I could feel his eyes checking me out, but he did not say anything about Saturday night which was a relief to me. Then as we started up the stairs, Jay asked, "Are you all caught up with your reading for Zingleman?"
"Why do you ask?" I replied.
"Oh – you seem like the type – that mmm – tries to stay ahead of the prof," was his unconvincing answer. Then he added, "Jenny – I was just trying to make conversation."
