Goal: Blending 15 CVC words (CORE Phonics Survey model) with 80% accuracy (12/15 words).
Student:
Case Mgr:
Target Date:
Official IEP Objective: "With copious repetition and rehearsal, student will be able to blend 15 CVC words from the CORE Phonics Survey or similar system with 80% accuracy across 3 consecutive sessions."
Prompt Level Codes:
+ = Independent G = Gestural / Arrow P = Phonemic Cue - = Incorrect / No Blend
| # | Target Word | Vowel | Base
Session Rehearsal & Accommodation Notes Record instructional intensity & accommodations
Repetition Dosage Logged:
Record daily repetitions completed (e.g., Warmup x3, Matrix x4). High repetition is required per IEP goal conditions.
Scaffolds Used During Trials:
Elkonin sound dots, continuous blending arrows, tactile tap-mats, or immediate corrective feedback.
IEP Progress Monitoring • Page 2
Error Analysis & Diagnostic Log
Pinpoint phonemic breakdown points, vowel confusion patterns, and progress towards IEP 80% benchmark.
Benchmark Criterion: 80% = 12 / 15 Words
Short Vowel Breakdown 3 words per vowel. Track if error pattern clusters in medial vowels (/ă/, /ĕ/, /ĭ/, /ŏ/, /ŭ/).
Sound Segmentation vs Blending Distinguish between accurate isolated phoneme production vs continuous blending synthesis.
Copious Rehearsal Response Evaluate whether trial latency improves with 3+ repeated practice exposures per word.
