Reading
I want to…
To do this I will…
learn at least 2000 new words every year *
read the word, hear the word and say the word in a sentence to show my understanding
explore the etymology of new words
read fluently in every subject
listen carefully when my teacher reads and follow along in the text with my ruler, pencil or finger
read out loud with expression if my teacher asks me to - this maybe in unison or in a pair
be able to answer questions about the texts I read
look for clues in the text like pictures, headings, graphs and tables
highlight a few key words and ideas as I read
be aware that I read differently in different subjects and contexts
*The number of words that students need to learn is exceedingly large; on average students should add 2,000 to 3,000 new words a year to their reading vocabularies (Beck, McKeown & Kucan, 2002).
