Learning Targets: The student will be able to use good braille reading techniques to increase reading
fluency.
Braille Goal: N. Ross will increase her tactile Braille reading skills by the following objectives.
Objective 1: N. Ross will tactically increase her tactile Braille reading speed to 50 wpm, by her next
annual review date of 3/3/2017. (Baseline: 0 wpm)

Phase 2: Delivered Curriculum

Activator Materials
Work Session

Braille some common decodable and non-decodable (w/contractions) words. Place

Step4: Continue to repeat above step (#3) setting the timer each time. ( 5 minutes, 3
minutes, 1 minute)

Closing/Summarize

The student will gradually increase their reading fluency / rate to improve their
comprehension.

Student will have a self-rubric to record fluency
tracking and hand techniques,
rate by using a timer. Will check to see if there is
checking for scrubbing and
an increase in fluency rate each 9 weeks
