Read and write braille numbers

K-2Percent accuracyTemplateReview and individualize before use. How templates are made
When to use this goal

For young braille users learning numbers in braille, which use the numeric indicator before the letters a to j. Present levels in letter knowledge and counting decide fit.

Baseline
Probe numbers in the classroom math range, both reading and writing. Record errors where the student reads the number as a letter or omits the numeric indicator.
Tips
Probe reading and writing on separate days or score them separately. Check which math code the district uses for early math (UEB or Nemeth) and probe in that code.
Limits
Number reading is not computation. A student may read numbers on cards but not in a crowded worksheet; probe both.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, given braille number cards and math worksheets with numbers up to the range taught, the student will read each braille number aloud independently with at least 90% accuracy on braille numbers read or written, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly.

Baseline: 50% accuracy.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Percent accuracy fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Work-sample analysis gives percent accuracy data.

  • Met: Review timeframe. Stated.

  • Met: Baseline and target compatible. Same unit, change in the right direction.

  • Met: Aligned with area of need. Still about Braille Literacy.

  • Met: Level of support. Defined.

  • Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.

Checks structure and wording only. Whether the goal fits the student is the team's call.

Short-term objectives (optional)

When are objectives required?

Required for students on alternate assessments (34 CFR §300.320(a)(2)(ii)); some states require them for everyone.
