Within the Reading Street teacher’s edition, the skills are mapped out for each unit. I looked at the vocabulary and comprehensive assessments as well as the skills provided and decided on activities given as well as activities I created. The objectives and goals should directly correlate with each other. This allowed me to make broad goals, then pick and create specific activities that meet specific objectives. The pre and post assessments guided me distinctly when determining questions to ask during the story. The state standards allow me to keep track of every skill the students are being taught. The state standards should also correlate with the objectives and goals. All three things work together to guide our instruction as teachers.
