Term 4 Literacy Goals

My Term 4 Literacy Goals for the next six weeks.

Reading
To get to the next level I need to:

1. I want to get better at sounding out new words I get stuck on,  by learning phonics. 

2. I need to skim and scan more often when reading. 

3. I need to get better at inference when reading between the lines.

I can help myself by:

– I can help myself by reading online books or articles at home on my chromebook.  

– I can help myself by playing an audio about a story at home.
Writing
To get to the next level I need to:

1. I want to correct my spelling when writing on my device or book. 

2. I need to always make sure I write capital letters and punctuation when writing. 

3. I need to always double check my writing before punishing it.

I can help myself by:

– I can help myself by always writing a creative story every Saturday at home! And then getting feedback.

– I can help myself by practising my spelling at home.   

This week my literacy class were writing their goals for Term 4. Our goals are all about our reading and writing. So here is my goals for reading and writing, but my main goal is to get better at my spelling because I am about to turn into a Year 8 next year!
