  • If the reader makes a mistake, the coach:

 Says, "Oops! Try that again."

 Says, "Try making the first sound."

 Says, "Try looking at the picture for clues."

 Tells the reader the word.

  • Signs the log sheet.
  • Sees the good things the reader does and says 2 good things and 1 thing to work on to the reader.
