Spell dictated CVC words on the keyboard
When to use this goal
For beginning readers who use AAC and are learning to spell during literacy instruction. Spelling on the device keyboard gives them the same practice classmates get with pencils. Base the choice on letter-sound knowledge, not on speech or grade.
- Baseline
- Dictate 10 CVC words and score whole-word correct and correct sounds. Check that the keyboard layout (alphabetical or QWERTY) stays the same. Note whether the student uses speech output to check spelling.
- Tips
- Score whole words correct. Also count correct letters so partial progress shows. Coordinate with the classroom literacy program so spelling patterns match.
- Limits
- Spelling in isolation is not spelling to communicate (sl-aac-058). Access method speed affects accuracy under time pressure; give untimed probes.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given 10 dictated consonant-vowel-consonant words (such as sun, map, hot) during a literacy lesson, the student will spell each word on the device keyboard independently with at least 70% accuracy on dictated CVC words spelled on the device keyboard, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly.
Baseline: 20% 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. 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 AAC & Augmentative Communication.
Met: Level of support. Defined.

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.

- 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.
