I think you're talking about phonological awareness, not morphology. Morphology has to do with the word endings we use to change meaning and all of the rules we use to spell.

For phono. awareness, I would write the goals just like you stated above. I don't have rhyming in this example, so it's probably one you want to add. Here is an example of one I wrote last year:

Present Level of Performance
SPEECH & LANGUAGE: PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS--Karson was referred for additional special education
services and was administered the Phonological Awareness Test. He did well on many parts of the test, but had
difficutly with sentence segmentation, medial isolation of sounds, deletion of sounds in words, substitution of
sounds in words, identifying sounds of consonant blends, vowel digraphs, and dipthongs and decoding most
words. Decoding was his weakest area, but he is also missing some of the building blocks (auditory awareness
and manipulation of sounds) that are essential to learning to read well. These phonological awareness delays
are affecting his ability to effectively access his curriculum.

Annual goal
Karson will segment sentences, isolate the medial sound in words, delete sounds in words, substitute sounds in
words, identify the sounds of consonant blends, vowel digraphs, and dipthongs and decoding nonsense/real words
with 95% accuracy.

STO
Karson will segment sentences into words with 95% accuracy.
Karson will isolate the medial sound in a word presented (typically the vowel) with 95% accuracy.
Karson will delete sounds in words and state the new word with 95% accuracy.
Karson will substitute sounds in words and state the new word with 95% accuracy.
Karson will identify the sounds and produce the verbal sound of consonant blends, vowels, vowel digraphs, and
dipthongs with 95% accuracy.
Karson will decode nonsense and real words with 95% accuracy with minimal assistance.
