1. Specific- The goal is specific in naming the skill or subject area and the targeted result. Details Matter!! Example: Joey will be able to read a passage orally in a grade-level book at 110-130 words per minute with errors. Advice: Each goal should state specifically the targeted skill and what the child is expected to do to reach the agreed upon level of mastery. Include where and under what conditions the behavior will be demonstrated. 2. Measurable- The goal is stated in a way that your child's progress can be measured. That can be done using standardized tests, curriculum-based measurements, or screening. Example: With a calculator, Makayla will be able to solve math problems that involve the computation of fractions and decimals, with 75 percent accuracy. Advice: Establish a clear indication of how the data will be collected for each goal. Specify the level of accuracy needed to show mastery. Choose tools such as checklist, quizzes, observations to measure the progress
