Writing Goals for Home Education

Not sure which writing skills your child has developed or what they should work towards next?

These printable Writing Goals for Home Education provide a clear and flexible way to understand your child’s current writing skills, track their progress and plan appropriately challenging lessons and activities.

The goals are organised into five progressive levels:

• Beginning
• Building
• Applying
• Advancing
• Deepening

Rather than being tied to particular ages or school years, the levels allow you to follow your child’s individual development. They cover the complete writing journey, from forming letters and writing simple sentences to adapting tone, constructing arguments and making deliberate stylistic choices.

Use the Working towards and Achieved columns to identify your child’s strengths and areas for development. You can then choose individual goals to guide lesson planning and create meaningful writing activities around their interests.

This resource can help you:

• Understand your child’s current writing skills
• Identify gaps without relying on formal testing
• Choose suitable goals for individual lessons and activities
• Keep learning appropriately challenging without becoming overwhelming
• Track and demonstrate writing progress over time
• Plan around your child’s abilities rather than their age

Perfect for home educating families looking for a simple, adaptable writing assessment and planning tool that supports personalised learning.
