Annual Review Date
Annual Measurable Goal
"By [Date], when presented with an unfamiliar list of multisyllabic words or a grade-level reading passage containing VC/CV closed syllable patterns (e.g., napkin, magnet, basket) at their independent level, [Student Name] will decode the words with fluency and accuracy, achieving at least 80% accuracy across [3] consecutive weekly monitoring opportunities."
Short-Term Objectives / Benchmarks
1
Syllable Segmentation & Division
When given a written list of 10 unfamiliar VC/CV words, the student will visually segment the words with a slash division (e.g., nap/kin, bas/ket) and label vowels and consonants to identify the division pattern with 80% accuracy in 4 out of 5 trials by ________.
2
Isolated Word Decoding
When presented with a list of 20 random VC/CV closed syllable words, the student will orally decode the words in isolation with automaticity and accuracy, scoring 80% correct (16/20 words) in 4 out of 5 weekly tracking assessments by ________.
3
Contextual Fluency & Accuracy
When reading aloud a grade-level appropriate passage containing at least 10 VC/CV closed-syllable words, the student will decode the target words in context with fluency and accuracy, maintaining 80% accuracy in context across 4 consecutive trials by ________.
Baseline Measurement
Record student's initial capability here. Administer a pre-test using 20 VC/CV closed syllable words in isolation.
Baseline Score: ________% (________ / 20 correct)
Syllable Division Score: ________% accuracy.
Accommodations & Tools
- Use a visual slider or finger tracker to divide syllables.
- Color-code vowels (red) and consonants (blue) during practice.
- Provide a card to cover the second syllable while reading the first.
- Enlarge text font size (minimum 18pt) during instruction.
