Whether you are an older students juggling a heavy reading schedule or an elementary student struggling to finish your very first chapter book, the Hi-tech Reading Planner will help you pace your reading.

Overview

Creating a Reading Schedule

Although we’ve used runners as icons, we do not mean to imply that you should race through a book.   Like any long distance runner, you have to pace yourself.   Part of the race is getting to the end, but, when you are reading, the other part of the race is getting from a book all that the authors intended for you to get from the book when they sat down to write it.   A good book deserves to be savored and enjoyed.

We designed the Hi-Tech Reading Planner to help you pace yourself when you start reading a book.   The Hi-Tech Reading Planner divides an assigned book into a manageable number of pages for you to read each day.   You enter information about your book:   name, page numbers, starting date, ending date, days off, etc.   The Hi-Tech Reading Planner creates a personalized reading schedule from your data so that you can slowly and more fully digest your book.   Print the schedule and use it as a book mark.

To create a reading schedule

1. On the Book Screen enter the name of your book, the starting page number, and the ending page number.

Note When entering the starting page number: you may start anywhere in the book. For instance, if you have been assigned a long short story in an anthology, enter the page the short story begins.

2.      Click Next or the icon of a runner starting a race to get to the Start Screen.

3.      Click on the calendar the date (month and day) you plan to start your book.

6.      Click Next or the icon of a student in a hammock to get to the Days Off Screen.
