Rate own recorded reading on a prosody rubric
When to use this goal
For older students who read at a workable rate but in a flat or rushed way and do not hear it themselves. Fit depends on whether the student can listen to a recording and describe it, shown in present levels, not on grade.
- Baseline
- Score five recordings separately and compare the student's ratings with the adult's row by row. Note which rows the student overrates; pace and phrasing are the most common. Use the same rubric wording the student will see.
- Tips
- Self-rating builds the listening habit that drives prosody change. Keep the recordings private to the student and adult. Pair it with a prosody performance goal so the ratings lead to practice.
- Limits
- Agreement shows the student can judge prosody, not that their prosody has changed. Rubric ratings are subjective; adults should calibrate with each other first.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, after recording a 1-minute oral reading of an instructional-level passage and listening to the recording, the student will rate their own reading on each row of a 4-row prosody rubric, matching the adult's rating within 1 point on every row independently in at least 4 of 5 opportunities, across 2 consecutive data collection weeks, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

- Record up to 5 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
