Word formation. Major and minor ways of word formation content introduction

Important Notes 
 
Note 1
: Use of the goals assumes the student in question has been 
assessed and deemed eligible for speech-language services. 
Note 2
: Sample IEP goals are developed to support most content 
standards for any student who is eligible for speech-language service 
because of oral communication issues. 
Note 3
: Sample IEP goals can be used with and adapted for students 
Pre-K through secondary. 
Note 4
: Sample IEP goals can be adapted for students who are 
developing alternative forms of communication. 
Note 5
: It is expected that goals will be modified to individualize for 
each student. 
In most cases, use of all of these goals as exactly stated is not expected. 
Note 6
: Items in sample goals that are 
BOLDED 
require that you 
choose and/or insert criteria appropriate for the developmental level of 
the student for whom you are writing the objective. 
Note 7
: For each sample goal, evaluation method B provides a way to 
measure 
the student’s performance of the targeted skill in a functional way or 
with curriculum-based materials/tasks. 
Note 8
: Extraneous words should be deleted from the goal (words that 
do not apply). 
Reference Information 

---

The developmental information for reference below is taken from 
Language Sample Analysis II The Wisconsin Guide
, Wisconsin 
Department of Public Instruction, 2005. It is based on data collected 
from 50 and 100 utterance samples 
of conversation. Benchmarks of sentence length and intelligibility are 
criterion referenced. The mean lengths of utterance quoted below 
represent the average performance for each age group. 
A typically developing 3-year-old child is expected to have an average 
utterance/sentence length of 3.2 words. Intelligibility can range between 
83 and 100%. 
A typically developing 5-year-old child is expected to have an average 
sentence length of 5.1 words. Intelligibility can range between 94-100%.
A typically developing 7-year-old is expected to have an average 
sentence length of 5.7 words. Intelligibility can range between 93-100%.
A typically developing 9-year-old is expected to have an average 
sentence 
length of 6.2 words. Intelligibility can range between 96-100%. 
A typically developing 11-year-old is expected to have an average 
sentence 
length of 6.9 words. Intelligibility can range between 96-100%. 
A typically developing 13-year-old is expected to have an average 
sentence 
length of 6.5 words. Intelligibility can range between 96-100%.
