Reading
Kindergarten Reading Goals
By the end of kindergarten, students will choose, listen to, and respond to a broad range of stories, poems, and nonfiction texts. With help, students will discuss main ideas, characters, settings, events, and important information from texts. They will also discuss similarities and differences across texts. With guidance from the teacher, kindergarteners will produce age-appropriate writing to communicate a clear idea.
