Those are terribly written goals.

A goal should be something like: Isaac will go *from* reading braille at 60
wpm with 85% accuracy *to* reading 90 wpm with 95% accuracy by 6-6-13 as
documented by teacher of the blind using Jerry Johns' reading level
inventory....then every three months or whenever IEP or report card time
dictates, have standards of where he is at so you know if he is making
progress

Need exact of what he is doing now and where he will go by what time and
when
