These goals are incredible vague. They aren't measurable. [/quote]

Could you please point me to some second-grade standards for phonics, word recognition, and fluency that meet your approval?

For example, here are Maryland's previous second-grade standards.

http://mdk12.org/assessments/vsc/reading/bygrade/grade2.html

[i]Topic B. Students will apply their knowledge of letter/sound relationships and word structure to decode unfamiliar words.

Use phonics to decode words 
Break compound words, contractions, and inflectional endings into known parts 
Identify and apply vowel patterns to read words, such as CVC, CVCE, CVVC 
Read blends fluently, such as spl, str

Topic C. Students will read orally with accuracy and expression at a rate that sounds like speech.

Reread text multiple times to increase familiarity with words

Indicator 2. Read grade-level text accurately
