Goals There are many areas of literacy that Mason could improve in. Goals that I have set for Mason are fluency, comprehension, and spelling. These goals will help Mason move towards grade level reading and writing. Fluency To achieve fluency, Mason needs help developing his sight word knowledge to improve accuracy in word decoding on a higher level.
