When doing this whole group, you should start with the getting ready lessons on pages 44-60.

You will then start with your suggested grade level sequence on pages 41-43.

Partial Spelling Results

Most of these are getting their short vowels, but are struggling with blends and digraphs. Instruction for these students would start at 42 because that’s where digraphs start.

​

​

5 of 15

These students passed the partial spelling assessment, so were given the full alphabetic spelling assessment. They all understood the final e, so we would start them off on Lesson 60. This teaches -ce,/s/ and the next lesson teaches -ge, /j/. Then they will review silent e.

​

​

Early Full Results

6 of 15

These students struggled with vowel teams. So their lessons will start at 63, reading longer words. They will need the suffix skills and reading longer words.
