Writing Posters & Goal Cards with "I can" statements.

Hold your students accountable for their learning with this set of 32 Writing Goal Posters with “I can” statements, matching reward tags/goal cards and name tags to encourage your young authors to stay on the “write track”.

I use these often as anchor charts to support mini lessons in our k-2 classroom.

Using Writing goals in your classroom is an effective way to differentiate your instruction. As you hold writing conferences with your students, assign them a writing goal to help improve their writing.

Display the writing goal posters throughout the year as a visual reminder of what good writer’s do.

Use the editable name tags to display their name below their personalized writing goal.

I always provide my students with a copy of the reward tag to attach to their writing folder or journal (or place on their desk) as a reminder of their writing goal. Once they achieve/master their goal, you can then add the reward tag to their rings as a celebration! If you do not use Reward Tags in your classroom, simply send home a copy of the Writing Goal as a certificate of achievement!

• 32 Writing Goal posters
• 32 Reward Tags (or individualized writing goal cards)
• 6 colors of editable name tags, print as many as you need
• One blank template to create your own Writing Goal
