_ will know spelling-sound correspondences for additional common vowel teams as demonstrated by reading a list of one syllable real and nonsense words with “r” controlled vowels and vowel diphthongs with 70% accuracy as measured by teacher records and observations .2.3b.

That said, there are a few ways to adjust the goals. These goals are slightly more challenging to modify than the fluency/reading levels goals because the letter patterns are fixed in the standards.

I will write the goal for less if they haven’t been progressing and more if they are moving up levels quickly. I typically write my goals for about 1.5 years growth from where the kid is right now. You can modify the target reading level, the percentage accuracy, and the fluency with which students read.
