Examples of student reading goals that can be used when conferring with students regarding their reading.
Student Reading Goals
1. Reread when meaning is unclear, when something doesn’t make sense.
2. Think about what you are reading and what’s happening.
3. Make sure you can decode and understand the words in the books you select.
4. Think about why characters act and behave the way they do.
5. Make connections to your life and what you already know to help you understand the story.
6. Read in your mind. Don’t move your lips.
7. Make a picture in your mind to help you understand.
8. Try reading in another genre.
9. Read more, at least thirty minutes a day at home, plus thirty minutes in school.
10. When you don’t know what a word means, use surrounding words—or read the next sentence of two—to
help you figure it out.
11. When you don’t know what a word means, use word parts to help you figure it out.
12. Use the pictures (graphs, charts, visual aids) to help get meaning.
