Choose a way

Build and move

Move known letter or word-part cards to form a selected word, then choose the fitting sentence. Motor movement is optional and does not replace actual reading observation.

Listen and explain meaning

An adult reads the passage and supplies unfamiliar words. The child explains a word part or sentence meaning through usual communication; do not score independent decoding from this route.

Read, re-read and spell

Read a short taught-pattern sentence, re-read after self-correction, and make one fresh spelling attempt. The teacher records exactly which support and prior teaching were available.
