Reading Goals

Each nine weeks, the students will set reading goals for themselves.  I will help them and guide them, but I do want these to be self-chosen goals so that the students are working toward something that they want to achieve.  I typically ask the children to choose three goals per nine weeks, but as there are only about six weeks left in this nine weeks, I believe two goals will be perfect.  On Monday, the students and I will begin choosing goals.  

Please take a few minutes and discuss these goal possibilities with your children:

1. I will earn _____ AR Points.
2. I will read _____ books.
3. I will try some new genres, such as: _________________________________.
4. I will try a book written by: _______________________________________.
5. I will read books from this series: __________________________________.
6. I will challenge myself to read a book that is at least ______ pages.
7. I will ________________________________________________________.

The last one is open in case there is some other goal your child wants to accomplish, such as reading a certain book or a certain amount of pages each night. The only thing I ask is that the goal be measurable in some way.

Thanks for your help and support!
