   Let’s take a quick quiz to see how you sound out words you don’t recognize automatically.
   I am going to show you some nonsense words on the screen. They are not real words, so you don’t have to think about what the word means. All you need to do is read them out loud to me.
   If you are not sure what it says, then sound it out.  
   Let’s get started.

Teacher Analysis Tip

1. As the reader reads the words, Observe:

• if the reader reads the word without sounding them out or if the reader decodes sound by sound  to read a word,
• if there are errors in blending the sounds back to a word after sounding it out.

2. Analyze the errors to determine which phonics skills need more practice (e.g., a specific consonant (single or digraph) or vowel sound)

Teacher Analysis Prompts

We expect readers to be able to correctly read all CVC words and at least three out of five words with digraphs in this assessment to be successful in Phase 3.

If the reader wasn’t able to do so, we recommend reviewing Word Work lessons in Phase 2 before they move on to Phase 3.
