What the checklist is for

What stops a session

A missing data sheet means a session with no record of progress; a missing word list or target list means teaching without the planned practice; a room or link that is not booked means no session. The summary puts these first and the nice-to-haves after.

Structured literacy lessons

The literacy part follows the common shape of a structured literacy lesson: sound and letter review, decoding with the new pattern and review words, spelling and dictation, then connected text that uses only taught patterns, with vocabulary and comprehension. It is not tied to any published program.

Three titles, one checklist

The catalog listed a session preparation checklist for speech-language pathologists, a lesson materials checklist for reading intervention and an instructional materials checklist for special education. They are the same job with different extras, so one page holds all three. Keep student names off shared sheets.
