Teaching · Reading Intervention
Show each word, count about three seconds, and mark it on the grid; then dictate the same words to spell. The summary separates the words that follow the patterns from the ones with a part to learn by heart, so you teach each the right way.
Included with Caveat Classroom and Whole-school licenses. Or get it in the Reading Intervention toolkit, $49 for 34 items.
One record per student and date. Arrow keys move across the grid; A, S, X and N mark a cell. Use initials or a code, never a name. The example is made up.

Many high-frequency words follow the spelling patterns children learn first: and, in, it, that, with. Others have one irregular part, such as the ai in said. Readers store words for instant recognition by connecting their sounds to their letters, a process called orthographic mapping, so even irregular words are taught through their sounds, with the odd part marked as a heart part to remember.
A word read correctly but slowly still takes attention away from meaning. The inventory separates automatic words, read within about three seconds without sounding out, from correct but slow words, which need more practice rather than first teaching.
It is a criterion check of 24 words, not a standardized test, and it gives no grade level or norm. Which parts count as irregular depends on what the student has been taught; the tags follow a typical early phonics order. Records use a code, never a name, and stay in this browser.
The example student is made up. The inventory is a classroom check of 24 words; it gives no grade level or norm and does not diagnose a reading disability. Support: team@caveatacademic.com.
