Goal Labels - Reading (Lower Elementary)
Thirty-five reading goal labels for lower elementary.
This set of goal labels have been designed to help students develop their reading skills. These goals help students to reflect upon their work and become more responsible for their own learning.
Print and cut the goal labels out. Students can stick these in their books or have them on their desk to remind them of their reading goal.
Use the PDF Checklist to track all of the goals for each student.
The Excel Spreadsheet can be used to track the goals for all of your students. In the Excel spreadsheet, you can type a ‘y’ to get a green box that indicates the student has achieved that goal, an ‘n’ to indicate the child has not achieved the goal yet and a ‘w’ to indicate that the child is working toward achieving the goal.
A blank set of labels are provided at the end to add your own reading goals.
These goal labels can be used in conjunction with
