Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Passage reading. Show the child the passage on the last page of the student form. Say,

I want you to read this aloud. When you finish, I will ask you some questions about what you have read. Do you understand what you are to do?
Please start here [point to the left-most letter on the top row], and go across [point from left to right]. When I say “begin,” read the story as best as you can. Point to each word as you read it. Put your finger on the first word. Ready? Begin.

Literal question

Question post text

Start the timer when you say “begin.” Mark each incorrect word with a slash. Count self-corrections as correct. Stay quiet, except when providing answers as follows: if the student cannot read the word after 3 seconds, provide the missing word and encourage the child to continue by saying: “Good effort. Please keep trying.” If you provided the word, mark it as incorrect.
MARK THE WORD THE CHILD READ AT 60 SECONDS WITH A BRACKET, BUT LET THE CHILD CONTINUE AND FINISH THE PARAGRAPH UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN PROMPTING EVERY WORD. In that case, skip to Listening Comprehension.
