Your independent reading check

Read fresh unmarked words, a sign, a menu and a message.

About this unit

Show what you can read on your own: new words, a sign, a menu and a message, without pictures or sound hints.

  • Every letter has been taught, even in the new words.
  • Read first; the recording only confirms your answer.
  • You may open the alphabet; your result notes when you used it.

Read first. The check has no pictures or spoken answer cues. You can open the alphabet if you need it; your result will note the support.
