ANALYSIS
Although Ayoaje did very well in recognizing her colors, she needs help with
recognizing basic shape she was unable to perform in understanding letters. She
does not recognize the sound of letters nor the type of letter. Since she does not
recognize the sound of letters she is unable to perform additional metrics such as
recognizing rhyming or changing sounds in words to create new words which
begin with the same letter. However Ayoaje seems to be a very bright young girl
and she has time before she starts kindergarten.

NEXT STEPS
• Practice tracing letter while saying the name of the letter (Day 1)
• Practice identifying words with letter of the week (Day 2)
• Practice recognizing sound of letter of the week (Day 3)
• Practice differentiating words that begin with letter of the week and words that
don’t (Day 4)
• eBooks or tv shows – At least once a week point out words with letters of the
week
• Meet with tutor 2-3 times a week
