INSTRUCTIONS
REMEMBER:

moving forward, politely ask if you can move forward.
 Ask the learner to point at what he/she is reading.
What is a mistake and what is not?
 There may be variations in learners’ reading due to local pronunciation or usage.
Do not consider this a mistake.

considered as only one mistake.

again.
