Cumulative review of all taught patterns

When to use this goal

For students who master each phonics pattern during its unit but lose earlier patterns as new ones are taught. A monthly cumulative list shows retention. Present levels and the scope and sequence decide the list.

Baseline
Build the list after several units are taught. Tally errors by unit; patterns that drop out get added back into daily review.
Tips
A quick way to show the IEP team which patterns are holding. Keep weekly unit checks separate.
Limits
The list grows across the year, so scores are not perfectly comparable from month to month.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, given a monthly list of 30 unfamiliar words, 3 for each phonics pattern taught so far this year, the student will read each word aloud independently with at least 90% accuracy on words from all taught patterns, on 3 of 4 consecutive monthly reviews, as measured by curriculum-based measurement probes collected monthly.

Baseline: 60% accuracy.

  • 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. Curriculum-based measurement 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 Phonics & Decoding.

  • 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.
