Start the timer when the child reads the first letter: Follow along with your pencil and clearly mark any
incorrect letters with a slash ( / ). Count self-corrections as correct. If you’ve already marked the self-
corrected letter as incorrect, circle the letter and go on. Stay quiet, except when providing answers as
follows: if the child hesitates for 3 seconds, provide the name of the letter; point to the next letter and
say “Sige, padayon la.”Mark the letter you provide to the child as incorrect. If the child gives you the
letter sound rather than the name, provide the letter name and say: [“Igsiring ha akon an ngaran han

AFTER 60 SECONDS SAY, “Undang na.” Mark the final letter read with a bracket ([ ] ).
Early stop rule: If the child does not give a single correct response on the first line, say “Salamat!”

Start the timer when the child reads the first letter: Follow along with your pencil and clearly mark
any incorrect letters with a slash ( / ). Count self-corrections as correct. If you’ve already marked

next letter and say “Sige, padayon la an pagbasa.” Mark the letter you provide to the child as
incorrect. If the student gives you the letter name, rather than the sound, provide the letter sound

Naiintindihan na nimo?

Read the prompt and then pronounce the target word a second time. Accept

Early stop rule: If the child responds incorrectly or does not respond to the first
