The test consists of a series of sentences taken from the Ultimate Phonics Reading Program. These sentences are written entirely with words that follow the major phonics sounds and rules. A good reader will be able to read all these sentences with few or no mistakes.
1) Listen to them read the test
To give the free reading test, simply have your children or students read the sentences aloud. The more mistakes they make, the weaker their phonics skills and the more they will benefit from Ultimate Phonics.
2) Watch for guessing and skipping
Especially watch for tendencies to guess at words and skip words, as well as excessively slow reading. These are classic phonics problems that lead to poor reading comprehension and many educational problems down the road.
3) The more mistakes, the more we can help
If your children or students have difficulty reading the test sentences then Ultimate Phonics is guaranteed to greatly improve their reading regardless of age. For young children, it teaches them to be excellent lifelong readers. For older students, it teaches them the essential reading skills for future success.
