Answer questions about a graphic novel page
When to use this goal
For middle school students who enjoy graphic novels but read only the speech bubbles or only the pictures, missing what the panels show together. Present levels decide the book level.
- Baseline
- Include questions that need the image (a character's expression) and ones that need the text. Note which kind is missed.
- Tips
- Graphic novels are motivating and age-respectful for students reading below grade. Reading order across panels may need teaching.
- Limits
- Visual processing affects results; note any vision needs.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, after reading a page of an instructional-level graphic novel, given 5 questions, the student will answer each question using both the words and the images, and point to the panel used independently with at least 85% accuracy on graphic novel questions, on 3 of 4 consecutive biweekly probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.
Baseline: 40% 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 Reading Comprehension.
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.

- Score only items the student attempted unless the goal defines a fixed set of items. Use the same denominator every session.
- Percent = numerator ÷ denominator × 100. Round to one decimal place.
- Record the support actually provided, even if the goal is independent performance.
