Tips and Tricks
1. Every child WILL NOT complete the entire assessment. When a child begins to struggle… STOP! The goal is for you to know where you need to begin instruction. If a child struggles with cvc words, you know that is where you need to begin. So there will be no need to move on to vowel teams, etc.
2. Complete the phonetic awareness section with every child. There’s only a few sections, but it’s a great tool for determining if students are able to hear and manipulate the individual sounds in words.
3. The first two pages are for the teacher. I like to print front/back so that I have everything in one place. The second two pages are for the student. I only make one copy and use it with every child.
