Documenting Decoding and Encoding Skills
watching for motor, speech, and visual difficulties
Record student name on this page. Don’t assume mastery. Present all sounds. Use random order. Unless otherwise stated, default to the common sound for each letter. (vowels: l = long sound; s = short sound) Indicate mastery. Record notes noticing posture, especially position of head, hands, and body. Where is the body in relation to the mid-line? Watch the eyes. i.e. Are they tracking smoothly? Are the sounds spoken clearly using Standard mouth formation? How does the student respond when they don’t know?
Be developmentally sensitive and present only the quantity that the student can respond to without tiring or becoming frustrated. You may need to do several short sessions over a day or days.
Hear a Letter Name, Write that Letter in Both Upper and Lower Case Using Standard Format
