Episode Summary

Today on the Kindergarten Cafe podcast, I explore the benefits of implementing writing goals to support young writers in kindergarten. Writing goals are instrumental in helping students focus on specific skills during the writing process, enabling them to track and improve their progress. These goals act as reminders for both students and teachers, allowing for personalized objectives tailored to individual needs and fostering a sense of accomplishment. Visual aids and regular check-ins further reinforce these writing goals, promoting accountability and enhancing students’ writing abilities across various skill areas.

In this episode I share:

  • Implementing writing goals
  • Making writing goals specific
  • Using writing goals in small groups
  • Involving students in writing goals
  • Examples of writing goals
