How do you assess letter sounds?
Write the student’s response for errors. Mark the sound the student said between slashes (e.g.,/m/). If the student tells you the letter name instead of the letter sounds, say: “That’s the letter name. What is the letter sounds?” If the student responds with the correct answer, mark a check.
