Reading and Writing Profile and Goals for 5th Grade
By Gener B.
A short student profile and goal-setting packet for 5th graders joining an after-school reading and writing program. Students rate their reading enjoyment, pick favorite genres, reflect on writing strengths and challenges, and share how they feel about sharing their work, building self-awareness and goal-setting skills as they plan for the year.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as an intake activity during the first session of your after-school program so you can learn each student's reading habits and writing confidence before planning instruction.
- Discussion question: What is one book or topic that made you excited to read, and what made it work for you?
- Scaffold for students who struggle to name goals: offer sentence starters such as "I want to get better at..." and suggest concrete examples like finishing a chapter book each month or adding more detail to paragraphs.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to write a specific, measurable goal with a timeline and a plan for how they will track their progress.
- Estimated time: about 30 to 40 minutes, including a few minutes for students to share one goal with a partner.
