Kline Whitis Elementary
Practice! Practice! Practice!
Motivate them to read!
Even the youngest learners can reach goals!
Personalize the reading practice
As with all tools, the results that you and your students achieve with AR will depend on what you do with it. When used thoughtfully and with proven techniques, AR can lead to tremendous gains in the students' reading abilities.
In this training:
- We describe some of the techniques that maximize the potential of AR.
- You will hear basic information about incorporating AR into your reading class.
- We'll show you some practices that will get you and your students off to a good start, and help you set goals for your students' reading practice.
- We'll share some tips for managing your classroom, and show you where to find resources you'll want to access when you're ready.

The Goal-Setting Process
2. Set initial book-level goals at the low end of each student’s ZPD.
3. Meet briefly with students one-on-one.
4. Each marking period, check the data, adjust goals if needed, and confer.
5. Recognize students who meet their goals.
The students should know their ZPD!
Why 85%?
Point Goals should be individualized, fair and realistic!
If a student is frequently absent or if you are not able to schedule reading practice for part of the marking period, lower your students’ point goals.
Conference with your students about realistic goals.
