That means either your reading or writing goal.As you practice, be sure to keep evidence of your goal to add to your book.

After reading the book you can write a list of the different text features and page numbers. You couldinclude: contents page, diagrams, glossary. You would then take a photo of your findings and insert this on to the next page after your goal in your Literacy Goal book.

Act out the character, in the setting, feeling the
emotion. Remember to think about your voice and
your face, as well as what the character might say. It
