This is a fantastic pack to set up an effective pupil target in English. Simply print the targets onto stickers (or cut and stick) and put the appropriate target into children's book. In addition to this you can laminate these targets and attach the relevant ones to children's English book using a treasure tag. This allows an easy reference for the child and you to see what target they are working towards. It is also a great way to record progress. Simply add a sticker to the laminated target when it has been met, and once it has been met 3 times, give your child their next target to work towards.
I have been using this target system for 3 years and it has been highly effective in both the Year 1 and Year 2 class I have worked in. It could easily be adapted to work across any year group however.
