Set Goals
Determine overall goals.
Once you’ve identified the
major skills which your students will need to succeed in life, determine
some goals based on those skills. If you have a bunch of
kindergarteners who will eventually need to read, for example, you want
them to know their alphabet, the basic sounds of some special letters,
and also be able to recognize simple sight words (eventually you can get
around to advanced ideas such as: c in cat sounds like "k" -- "keh", and an example of k might be "keep". But c in ceiling sounds like "s" -- "sss", an exciting example of s might be "snake"/pronounce the "sssnake" and show them the "ssss" of a "hissing snake" -- but do not mention it so soon as to confuse the idea of phonics).
Set specific goals.
Once you know what your general
goals are for the class, think of specific goals which will serve to
show you that those overall goals have been met. Have your
kindergarteners from the previous step be able to read and write the
alphabet forwards and backwards and read basic three letter words, for
example.
Outline how those goals will be reached.
Now that you
know what you want your students to be able to do, outline the smaller
skills which be necessary to get them to those larger goals. These will
be mini-goals and will serve as a road map. With the kindergarteners, an
example of these mini-goals would be learning each individual letter,
learning to identify compound sounds, and then learning how to string
sounds together.
