Setting Goals for Reading Instruction

Before planning instruction, I need to set expectations for my students. I expect that they will all read. I believe that my attitude and knowledge of assessments will help them get there. But in order to plan specific instruction, I need to develop goals that I expect my children will achieve. Clarifying what my goals are will better inform my instruction.

By the end of the school year, my students will:

  1. enjoy reading.
  2. exhibit ownership and independence in reading.
  3. gain and employ skills and strategies to decode words.
    1. phonemic understanding
    2. phonics
    3. sight word knowledge
    4. context clues
  4. gain fluency in reading.
  5. use comprehension strategies.
