The goal of self-correction is to encourage first-grade students to monitor their reading for accuracy and actively correct errors. Students learn to recognize when their reading does not match the print or when the meaning is unclear. By developing the habit of self-correction, students become more independent readers who can identify and rectify mistakes. This goal fosters metacognitive skills and promotes reading accuracy, ensuring that students' reading makes sense and aligns with the text they are reading.
