The goal is to improve reading accuracy in first graders. Students should focus on decoding unfamiliar words using phonics and word-solving strategies, as well as applying their knowledge of sight words and common word patterns. They should also develop the ability to self-monitor and self-correct when errors occur during reading. Utilizing context clues and rereading strategies can help them clarify and verify the accuracy of the text. By developing automaticity with high-frequency words, students can enhance their overall reading accuracy.

Goal 3: Self-monitor and self-correct when errors occur during reading.
Goal 4: Use context clues and rereading strategies to clarify and verify the accuracy of the text.
Goal 5: Develop automaticity with high-frequency words to improve overall reading accuracy.
