Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Reread a suitable short text for accuracy, phrasing and meaning without racing.
Ask for an example of one prerequisite idea; revisit if needed. Historical graph coverage does not establish this learner’s readiness.
Check known sounds in the supplied CVC-heavy passages first. If words are beyond current decoding, model them and mark supported; do not claim a matched book level. No timer required.
Use supplied stage sheets on screen or scrap paper; keep adult keys separate.
Use the fictional scenarios. Passing is allowed. Do not ask for private money amounts, account details, family conflict, identity or health information. Keep only minimal local learning notes.
Supplied data are explicitly practice data, not observations. Record only what is actually attempted; absent equipment, consent, partner or repeated observations means that part remains pending.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
Original mini-passages, not a complete matched book. 90% source criterion is an observation threshold, never prefilled attainment; word-level fit must be checked.

Check understanding
- Read a phonically appropriate text with 90%+ accuracy
- Reread familiar texts with improved pace and expression
- Read emergent-reader texts with purpose and understanding
“When your child reads a book aloud at their level, can they get through most words without stumbling — sounding less like they're decoding and more like they're telling a story?”
