My Updated Goals For The Year

My goal for reading was to increase my vocab knowledge and my inference skills. I am still working towards this by reading a wider range of books and having someone ask me questions about what I read.
To improve my writing I need to make sure I get all my ideas down in my mind map, checking my work against set criteria and making sure I spend my time on my editing.
My goal for mathematics was to score 100%. At the moment I am scoring around 80% and to achieve my goal I will need to learn the facts I do not know, write out my basic facts and have someone test me daily.
