Goal Setting
Goal Setting
At the start of the year, we assess each student’s reading skills to understand their strengths and areas for growth. Based on this, we set individualized reading goals tailored to your child’s needs. Throughout the year, we regularly monitor progress with systematic assessments to ensure students receive the support they require. When a student exceeds their goal, we adjust by setting new, appropriate targets. If a student encounters challenges, we modify instruction to better meet their needs. This personalized approach helps every student grow as a confident reader.
Fluency
Fluency
Fluency is the ability to read smoothly, accurately, and with expression. When students read fluently, they can focus on understanding the story instead of just decoding words. We help students build fluency through practice and repeated reading, which boosts their confidence and enjoyment of reading.
Comprehension
Comprehension
Comprehension means making sense of what is read. It involves thinking about the story, understanding the main ideas, and drawing conclusions. We teach students strategies like asking questions and summarizing to help them become thoughtful, independent readers who truly understand the text.

How You Can Support Reading at Home
Your involvement is key to your child’s reading success. Here are some simple ways to support learning at home:
Read together daily: Even 10–15 minutes makes a big difference. Let your child choose books they enjoy.
Ask questions: Talk about the story, characters, and pictures to build comprehension.
Encourage sounding out words: Support your child in breaking down unfamiliar words using letter sounds.
Create a reading-friendly environment: Set aside a quiet, cozy spot for reading.
Visit the library: Explore a variety of books and participate in reading programs.
Celebrate progress: Praise effort and milestones to keep motivation high.
Partnering with us helps build your child’s confidence and love for reading!
Here are some helpful questions you can ask to boost comprehension and engagement while reading with your child:
What do you think will happen next?
Who is your favorite character so far? Why?
Can you tell me what just happened in your own words?
Why do you think the character did that?
What was the problem in the story? How was it solved?
Did anything surprise you in the story?
Can you find a word that you don’t know? What do you think it means?
How does this story remind you of something in your own life?
What’s your favorite part of the book so far?
Can you describe the setting (where and when the story takes place)?
