Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not goals and scales enhance writing achievement in kindergarten. Students were assessed weekly on their writing skills and then taught missing skills during small group intervention time. Each small group lesson was ten to fifteen minutes long during center time. Each lesson targeted specific letters that students didn’t know how to form and sentence writing skills, depending on what the student was missing on their most recent assessment. Results from the assessments showed that the majority of the participants made progress with their writing skills due to understanding their goals and working up the scale to be successful.
