Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Create a new document in a word processing program. Center the title, "Daily Reading Log," at the top. Divide the document into top, middle and bottom sections.

2. Begin the top section by adding three school identification fields. Allow enough space for students to fill in the information. Name the fields, "Student Name," "Teacher" and "Class."

3. Include a book identification section with three fields. Make the first field, "Book Title." Mark the next two fields as "Author" and "Due Date."

4. Skip several line spaces to begin the middle section. Insert a table with five columns and approximately 15 rows.

5. Title the first column, "Date." Name the next column, "Starting Page Number." Follow with the third column for "Ending Page Number."

6. Continue with one column for "Chapters Covered" and one for "Comments and Observations."

7. Jump down two line spaces and start the bottom section. Format a field large enough to contain instructions for using the reading log form. Explain what each column means. Specify that students must use the form to set daily reading goals and to record problems in meeting those goals.
