Spotlight Form: The Digital Reading Log

Enable students learning from home to track assignments with easy to use digital reading logs

Digital reading logs can be easily created using an existing paper form, equipped with ‘smart’ fields, and shared with students and families via email

With digital reading logs students are no longer required to transport forms between school and home. Using Table fields, book titles, authors, hours read, and descriptions can be easily added and organized. Table fields can even include Automatic Calculations, instantly tallying hours read. Digital reading logs can even host Signature boxes, making it easy to capture a parent or student signature, confirming they completed the reading hours listed. 

Key features: 

  • Table fields - Table fields allow students to organize book information in clear line items. Your Table fields can even include a variety of different types of fields, like Date fields, Drop Downs, Number fields, and more. 

  • Automatic Calculations - Instant calculations allow students to easily and accurately enter and calculate hours read. 

  • Text fields - With Text fields, students can easily enter book titles, authors, and descriptions. 

  • Date fields - Date fields (which can be included within a Table field column) allow students to easily add the date their reading was completed, with a few simple taps. 

  • Signature fields - Capture student or parent confirmation that the reading hours listed were completed with digital Signature boxes (which can be made Required).

  • Public Forms - Share links to editable forms with students, even if they do not have a GoFormz account. Once a Public Form is submitted, educators can access and process input information, in real-time. 

Digital forms provide educators and school administrators with an opportunity to streamline the collection and processing of student and school data. To learn more about leveraging digital forms within your school, check out the Top 10 Digital Teacher Forms here.
