craftyteacher: Year 1 writing, reading & maths target stickers

When the new school year comes around, I will be teaching both Reception and Year 1 for a while. I haven't taught Year 1 for a few years but obviously I know these children like the back of my own hand after having them for all of last year. There are some incredibly bright children in the group as well as some that are going to need continued support.

With the implementation of the new National Curriculum, the levels we use for assessment are no longer really relevant so I have been looking at alternative ways of target setting and tracking progress. We have previously used levelled sheets and stickers based on the old APP grids which will still be handy but the levels need to generally be ignored and just looked at in terms of progression otherwise I've got children starting Year 1 as a 2c in maths!

I decided to make myself some target sticker sheets based on the Year 1 objectives taken straight from the NC. I've made a greyscale version that can be printed onto A4 paper and attached in the front of the children's books and then a colour version that can be printed onto Avery labels (16 to a page) so that when the children achieve the target, the coloured sticker can replace the boring grey!

There is a space next to each sticker that can be used for ticking off/dating when things have been achieved or for adding an extra 'target met' or 'well done' sticker to it.

I am making these available on my Teachers Pay Teachers store so that if you want to use them too, you can. Strangely enough, I've just seen that Super Stickers is making a version of these that do look considerably nicer than mine, but they are also more expensive and can't just be printed out whenever you need them!
