Pre-Assessment

Decoding nonsense words with blends

  1. Say
    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.
  2. Push next to continue

 

Teacher Analysis Tip

 

  1. As your student reads the words, Observe:
  • if the student reads the word without sounding them out or if the student decodes sound by sound  to read a word,
  • if there are errors in blending the sounds back to a word after sounding it out.
  1. Analyze the errors to determine which phonics skills need more practice (e.g., a specific blend).

Teacher Analysis Prompts

 

We expect students to be able to correctly read at least four out of five closed syllables with each blend type in this assessment to be successful in Phase 4.

If your student wasn’t able to do so, we recommend reviewing Word Work lessons in Phase 3 before they move on to Phase 4.
