COMPONENT 2. Letter Name Knowledge

Show the child the sheet of letters in the student stimuli booklet. Say:

Ang pahinang ito ay puno ng mga titik. Bigkasin mo ang pangalan ng mga titik na alam mo — uulitin ko:
Pangalan at hindi tunog.

Halimbawa, ang titik na ito [point to M] ay “EM”

Magsanay tayo: Ano ang pangalan ng titik na ito? [point to A]:

If the child responds correctly say: Tama, ito ay titik“A”.

If the child does not respond correctly, say: “A”ang pangalan ng titik na ito .

Subukan nating muli: Anong titik ito? [point to T]:

If the child responds correctly say: Tama, “Ito ay titik TEE”.

If the child does not respond correctly, say: “TEE” ang pangalan ng titk na ito.

Nnaintindihan mo ba?

Kapag sinabi kong “magsimula na”, bigkasin kaagad ang pangalan ng mga titik. Magsimula dito at tuloy-tuloy
hanggang sa huling linya. [Point to the first letter on the row after the example and draw your finger across the
first line]. Kung hindi mo alam ang pangalan ng titik, tuturuan kita. Ngunit kung alam mo, makikinig lamang
ako. Handa ka na ba? Magsimula ka na.

Start the timer when the child reads the first letter: Follow along with your pencil and clearly mark
any incorrect letters with a slash ( / ). Count self-corrections as correct. If you’ve already marked the self-
corrected letter as incorrect, circle the letter and go on. Stay quiet, except when providing answers as follows: if
the child hesitates for 3 seconds, provide the name of the letter; point to the next letter and say “Magpatuloy
ka.” Mark the letter you provide to the child as incorrect. If the student gives you the letter sound rather than
the name, provide the letter name and say: [“Bigkasin ang pangalan ng titik”]. This prompt may be given only
once during the exercise.

AFTER 60 SECONDS SAY, “hinto.” Mark the final letter read with a bracket ( ] ).
Early stop rule: If the child does not give a single correct response on the first line, say “Salamat!”, discontinue
this exercise, check the box at the bottom, and go on to the next exercise.

COMPONENT 3a: Letter Sound Knowledge

Show the child the sheet of letters in the student stimuli booklet. Say:

Ang pahinang ito ay may mga titik. Bigkasin mo ang TUNOG ng mga titik na alam mo, — uulitin ko.Bigkasin
ang TUNOG at hindi ang PANGALAN.

Halimbawa, [point to M] /m/ang tunog ng titik na ito tulad ng “MAMA”.

Magsanay tayo: Bigkasin mo ang tunog ng titik na ito [point to A]:

If the child responds correctly, say: tama, /a/ ang tunog ng titik na ito.
If the child does not respond correctly, say: /a/ ang tunog ng titik na ito.

Subukan natin ang ibang titik: Ano ang tunog nito? [point to T]:
If the child responds correctly, say: Tama, /t/ ang tunog ng titik na ito.
If the child does not respond correctly, say: /t/ ang tunog ng titik na ito.

Naintindihan mo ba?

Kapag sinabi kong “magsimula na”, bigkasin mo kaagad ang tunog ng mga titik. Bigkasin ang tunog ng mga
titik ng tuloy-tuloy hanggang sa huling linya. [Point to the first letter on the row after the example and draw
your finger across the first line]. Kung hindi mo alam ang tunog , tuturuan kita. Ngunit kung alam mo,
makikinig lamang ako. Handa ka na ba? Magsimula ka na.

Start the timer when the child reads the first letter: Follow along with your pencil and clearly mark any
incorrect letters with a slash ( / ). Count self-corrections as correct. If you’ve already marked the self-corrected letter
as incorrect, circle the letter and go on. Stay quiet, except when providing answers as follows: if the child hesitates
for 3 seconds, provide the sound of the letter, point to the next letter and say “Ipagpatuloy.” Mark the letter you
provide to the child as incorrect. If the student gives you the letter name, rather than the sound, provide the letter
sound and say: [“Bigkasin ma ang tunog ng titik na ito”]. This prompt may be given only once during the exercise.

AFTER 60 SECONDS SAY, “hinto”. Mark the final letter read with a bracket ( ] ).
Early stop rule: If you have marked as incorrect all of the answers on the first line with no self-corrections, say
“Salamat!”, discontinue this exercise, check the box at the bottom, and go on to the next exercise.

COMPONENT 3b. Initial Sound Identification

EGRA Toolkit-Sinugbuanong Binisaya Page 5

This is NOT a timed exercise and THERE IS NO STUDENT SHEET. Read aloud each word twice, and have the student
say the sounds. Remember to model the “sounds: /p/, not “puh” or “pay”. Say:

Ito ay pagsasanay sa pakikinig. Bigkasin mo ang unang tunog ng bawat salita. Halimbawa, sa salitang
“pana”, /p/ ang unang tunog. Bigkasin mo ang unang tunog ng bawat salita na iyong maririnig. Babasahin ko
ito ng dalawang beses. Pakinggan mo ng mabuti at bigkasin mo ang unang tunog ng salita na iyong maririnig.

Magsanay tayo. Ano ang unang tunog ng salitang“mata”? “Mata.”

[If the child responds correctly, say]: tama, /m/ ang unang tunog ng salitang “mata”.
[if the child does not respond correctly, say]: Pakinggan mo ulit: “mmmata”. /m/ ang unang tunog ng
salitang “mata”.

Ngayon, Subukan natin ang ibang salita: Ano ang unang tunog ng salitang “damo”? “Damo”.
[If the child responds correctly, say]: Tama, /d/ ang tunog ng salitang “damo”.
[If the child does not respond correctly, say]: Pakinggan mo ulit: “dddamo”. /d/ ang unang tunog ng
salitang “damo”.

Naintindihan mo ba?

Read the prompt and then pronounce the target word a second time. Accept only as correct the isolated sound
(without a shwah). If the child does not respond after 3 seconds, mark as “No response” and say the next prompt.
Enunciate clearly; but do not overemphasize the beginning sound of each word.

Early stop rule: If the child responds incorrectly or does not respond to the first five words, say “Salamat!”,
discontinue this exercise, check the box at the bottom of the page, and go on to the next exercise.

COMPONENT 4: Familiar Word Reading
Show the child the sheet of familiar words in the student stimuli booklet. Say:

Narito ang iba pang salita. Basahin mo nga ang mga salitang alam mo. Babasahin mo lamang ito at huwag

Magsanay tayo: Basahin mo nga ang salitang ito [point to the word “saya”]:
If the child responds correctly say: Tama, “saya”.
If the child does not respond correctly, say: “saya” ang salitang ito.

Subukan natin ang ibang salita: Basahin mo nga ang salitang ito [point to the word “tasa”]:
If the child responds correctly say: Tama, “tasa”.
If the child does not respond correctly, say: “tasa” ang salitang ito.

Kapag sinabi kong “Simula na”, Basahin mo kaagad ang mga salita. Simulan mo sa ibabang linya. Pakikinggan
lamang kita at sabihin mo sa akin ang salitang hindi mo alam. Naintindihan?Handa ka na? Magsimula na.

Start the timer when the child reads the first word. Follow along with your pencil and clearly mark any
incorrect words with a slash ( / ). Count self-corrections as correct. If you’ve already marked the self-corrected
letters as incorrect, circle the letter and go on. Stay quiet, except when providing answers as follow: if the child
hesitates for 3 seconds, provide the word, point to the next word and say “Ipagpatuloy.” Mark the word you
provide to the child as incorrect.

AFTER 60 SECONDS, SAY “hinto”. Mark the final word read with a bracket ( ] ).
