Assessments & Reporting

Students are assessed in various skills, including phonological and phonemic awareness, word-level decoding, fluency, and spelling, identifying both strengths and areas for growth. A monthly progress report is issued to families summarizing the student’s learning goals and skill development.

Predictable Routines

Routine-based lesson structures create consistent opportunities for practice and review. Every lesson begins with a skills-based warm-up before progressing into phonics skills and independent application of exercises through orthographic mapping, dictation, and word chains.

Decodable Passages

Students practice phonics skills with decodable passages that align to each lesson. These short texts incorporate vocabulary and comprehension while providing skills-based practice.

High-frequency Words

High-frequency words are aligned to phonics skills in the scope and sequence, creating developmentally appropriate opportunities for orthographic mapping.
