To Evaluate:

If the student correctly spells 17 to 20 words:
•     Assign the student to the Level B program.
•     Encourage the student to work independently.
•     Assign all challenge activities.
•     Use the supplemental activities (1 per week) from Appendix A.

If the student correctly spells 8 to 16 words:
•     Assign the student to the Level B program.
•     Allow occasional opportunities to work independently.
•     Regularly offer challenge activities.

If the student correctly spells 0 to 7 words:
•     Administer the Level A placement test.
•     Based on the results, you may either:
       a) Assign the Level A worktext, or
       b) Assign the Level B worktext,
           but use regular lessons only without the Challenge Activities.
•     Encourage completion of all phonics activities (1 per day)
      before beginning the regular lessons.
