Kid Friendly
“I Can” Statements
Grade 1
© Engaging Young Minds
The “I Can” statements are displayed as the focus of learning for the day or the week to
help students “stay on target” with objective and can serve as a formative assessment.
Each 8.5” x 11” poster contains kid-friendly "I Can" statements for the Common Core ELA
Standards of Reading, Foundational Skills, Writing, Listening & Speaking, and Language.
The
standard codes are displayed at the bottom right hand corner of each “I Can” statement.
The posters are written with an easy-to-read font and no graphics. This enables the
students to clearly see the objective and cuts down on the costs of printing the standards.
To add durability, print on card stock and/ or laminate.
These “I Can” statements can used in conjunction with our Common Core Learning Scales
and the FREE Formative Assessment Chart.
