GoalSetting Chart
Use the chart and guidelines below to help plan goals for your students based on their reading level and the amount of daily reading practice that you provide. Identify ZPD Identify each student’s grade-equivalent (GE) score with a standardized assessment, such as STAR Reading, or estimate a GE based on the student’s past performance. The corresponding ZPD is a recommended book-level range for the student. If books in that range seem too hard or easy for a student, choose a new range or create a wider one that better matches the student’s abilities. Set Goals A verage percent cor rect—The most important goal for all students is to average 85% or higher on Reading Practice Quizzes. Meeting this goal has significant impact on reading growth. Averages of 90% and higher are associated with even greater gains. If a student struggles to maintain the minimum average, talk to the student and find out why. Then decide on a strategy that will lead to success. Point goals—The chart shows the number of points students are expected to earn based on GE and time spent reading. These are estimates—set goals that are realistic for individual students.
