Record student name on this page. Don’t assume mastery. Unless otherwise stated, default to the common sound for each letter. Indicate mastery level. 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.
