Teacher tip

Use the same passage for a few checks so kids can see their speed grow.

How to use it

  • Keep trackers in a data folder kids can reach on their own.
  • Celebrate progress, not just finished goals.
  • Keep a stack of copies in a labeled tray so you can grab one without stopping the lesson.

Watch for

Goals that are too big. Break them into steps that can be reached in a week or two.

Talk about it

  • What helped you grow this week?
  • How can this help you be ready to learn?

Take it further

Set a class goal that everyone works toward together.
