FREE ยท FOR TEACHERS, INTERVENTIONISTS & TUTORS
You have a student who is behind in reading. In twenty minutes, know exactly where to begin.
You don't administer all of it. You start where the student already is, and you stop the moment you've found the place to begin teaching.

WHAT'S INSIDE
Four things, and nothing you don't need.
01
A placement test that stops itself
It finds the earliest reading skill that isn't secure โ and stops the moment it finds it.
02
One rule for where to begin
No interpreting a score, no professional judgement call. The rule tells you.
03
The whole teaching sequence, on one page
So you know what comes next. And after that. And after that.
04
A ten-minute first lesson
Filled in from what the test showed. Ready to teach tomorrow morning.
HOW IT WORKS
Twenty minutes, start to finish.
1
Don't start at the front
Page 4 asks what your student sounds like, and tells you which section to begin at.
2
Work backwards until it's secure
If a section comes back below 90%, go back one. Keep going until one is solid.
3
Stop. That's your answer
The section just after the secure one is where teaching begins. You don't administer the rest.

Who made this
I'm Tina. For years I was the teacher scrambling to pull a reading lesson together minutes before the bell. I nodded along in planning meetings because I didn't have the words.
So I started building my own manuals, my own systems, my own cheat sheets. Years of them. This placement test is the first page of all of it. And it's yours, free.
