Guide
Objective
- Use the assessment to monitor readers’ progress in reading closed syllables with digraphs, blends, and/or words with inflectional endings, as well as high-frequency words.
- Identify specific difficulties individual readers have with closed syllables and/or high-frequency words.
Teacher Tips
Use the Observation Checklist PDF (print button) and Teacher Analysis Prompts to analyze reader progress. If readers have word pronunciation errors or sound out each letter before pronouncing the word, then revisit the activities in ‘Word Work: Foundational skills’ lesson for more practice and/or have readers reread the text.
