Reading List Template
A reading list is a list of books, articles, and other written materials, which you plan to read or reference. Typically, you need to read certain texts for a course; a reading list enables you to track your progress.
Why create a reading list?
Creating a reading list helps you to plan and organize your reading. It ensures you don't miss any important texts and enables you to record your progress. With Craft's share function, you can easily share your reading lists with other students.
When should you create a reading list?
You should create a reading list as soon as you know which texts you need to read. Typically, this happens in advance of a semester, or in some cases, at the start of the academic year. You can add to your reading list as the course progresses and new reading materials are suggested.
What should a reading list contain?
A reading list is a simple document. It should contain:
- A list of books or texts you need to read
