Below are all of the 2nd grade reading standards and example goals written below them. Here is my advice on using my example goals: First, the common core standards are only used as just that, a standard. Whether or not they are appropriate for a typically developing student is up to you to determine. However, in order to great a goal, I needed some type of tiered skill to base it off of. Second, remember that a second grade skill might be used with a student who is older. Goals are skill based not age based. Third, some goals are short enough that they would not require an entire school year. You can use these as a stepping stone for a larger goal, or just make sure there are enough other goals that students have other things to work on. (I typically pick the latter). Last, feel free to grab my wording and rearrange, add other goals to it, or whatever else you need to be successful! Good luck!
