2. [Student's name] will distinguish between different environmental sounds in 8/10 trials.

3. [Student's name] will match sounds to their sources in 8/10 trials.

Annual Goal #7

By (date), [student's name] will hear and identify sounds in words including rhyming words, simple syllable segmentation, and beginning sounds, improving phonemic awareness from [current level] to [target level] as measured by [assessment method, e.g., running records, probes, anecdotal records, work samples, etc.].

Objectives:

1. [Student's name] will identify rhyming words in 8/10 trials.

2. [Student's name] will segment words into syllables in 8/10 trials.

3. [Student's name] will identify the beginning sounds in words in 8/10 trials.

Annual Goal #8

By (date), [student's name] will identify/utilize rhyming words in a variety of literature (e.g., poems, verses, pattern stories, personal creative composition), improving phonemic awareness from [current level] to [target level] as measured by [assessment method, e.g., running records, probes, anecdotal records, work samples, etc.].

Objectives:
