If you’re a book lover, you know the joy of getting lost in a good story. 📚 But how often do you find yourself saying, “I’ll read more this year”—only to forget your progress after a few weeks? That’s where a reading goals tracker comes in handy. And the best part? You can design one in Canva that’s as unique and inspiring as your personal reading journey!
Let’s talk about how you can create a custom Canva template to stay motivated, organized, and excited about reaching your reading goals.
Why Track Your Reading Goals?
Stay motivated – Nothing beats the feeling of checking off a finished book.
See your progress – A visual tracker helps you celebrate how far you’ve come.
Stay consistent – Daily or weekly tracking keeps reading a steady habit.
Personalize your journey – You can make your tracker fit your style and goals.
How to Design a Reading Goals Tracker in Canva
1. Decide on Your Format
Do you want to track the number of books, pages, or time spent reading? Canva makes it easy to create:
Book list trackers
Reading logs
Page count charts
Monthly or yearly challenges
2. Choose a Fun Layout
Search Canva’s templates for “habit trackers” or “reading journals” and pick one to customize. Add boxes, bookshelves, or even cute illustrations where you can fill in titles as you go.
👉 Want even more design options? Check out Creative Fabrica for fonts, clipart, and graphics that make your tracker one-of-a-kind.
3. Add Personal Touches
Include:
A space to rate each book (stars, hearts, or smiley faces).
Prompts like “What I learned from this book” or “Favorite quote.”
Inspirational reading quotes sprinkled across your layout.
4. Save & Use Your Tracker
Once you’ve designed your template, save it as a PDF to print and tuck into your journal—or upload it to your tablet or phone to use digitally. The choice is yours!
