Those with strong knowledge of letter names & sounds 3. Those with inconsistency of letters and letter sounds • All students who leave K need to have a firm grasp on the alphabetic principle and its application in decoding and spelling unknown words.2

  7. Group Students Based on Data 4th Week: • Administer inventories created to match instruction • Regroup based on new data • Continue this process for each new segment/theme of instruction 12th Week: Begin including a spelling inventory into the assessment/regrouping process
