Changing “Speed Target” and “Accuracy Target” should progresses as the
student(s) become increasingly accurate. Each grade level should increase in
speed as the year progress. Kindergartener’s should not have the same speed
settings as second grade nor should fourth grade have the same speed settings
as first grade. Increase speed and accuracy appropriately.
