This is a
Goal Worksheet, which is a tool to help you plan and achieve something important. Since it’s not a math or logic problem with one right answer, there’s no single “correct” solution — but I can show you how to fill it out properly using an example.
Let’s pretend your goal is:
“Read 5 books before the end of summer.”
Here’s how you’d complete each section:
---
DATE:
May 22, 2026 *(today’s date)*
GOAL:
Read 5 books before the end of summer.
WHY?
I want to get better at reading faster and enjoy stories more. Also, my teacher said reading helps with writing!
STEPS TO TAKE:
- Pick 5 books from the library by June 1.
- Read 30 minutes every day after homework.
- Write down what I liked about each book in a notebook.
- Tell my friend about each book so I remember it better.
- Check off each book as I finish it on this worksheet.
NOTES:
- Start with shorter books first (like graphic novels).
- Ask Mom for help picking books if I’m stuck.
- If I miss a day, read double the next day.
- Reward myself with ice cream after finishing all 5!

Final Answer:
There is no single correct answer — this worksheet is meant to be filled out personally based on your own goals. Use the example above as a guide to write your own goal, reason, steps, and notes.
