Start with clear diagnostics

Schools first identify whether learners are struggling with sounds, blending, fluency, or comprehension.

This prevents generic remediation and focuses teaching time on the exact skill gap.

Use short monitoring cycles

Progress checks should be short, consistent, and easy for teachers to administer.

When data shows learners are stuck, routines can be adjusted immediately instead of waiting until endline.
