Everyone in our school buildings want students to read more….teachers, principals, librarians, paras – and of course parents. We all know the benefits, but it’s not that easy. However, what if I told you that using Accelerated Reader Goal-Setting Charts can inspire and motivate your students to read more this year? That’s a win-win for everyone!
One thing I have learned as a teacher is that visual cues in the classroom are HUGE for kids. Anchor charts, number lines, alphabet charts, word walls, name tags are all visual cues that our students want and need. They create a word rich classroom that helps them build their vocabulary.
They also can inspire and motivate our students. I have used multiplication facts charts to track student’s progress, number of books read, and academic goals and have found these to be very effective for the majority of my students.
If your school used Accelerated Reader as a comprehension check system for your readers, having a visual chart that reminds them of goals and progress can be a huge motivation for them!
