Task: Matching Spoken and Written Forms of Words

Instruction to student: I am going to show you a box with some words in it. I am going to say one of the words. I want you to find the word I say and put a line through it. Here is an example. I say the word top. Here is the list of words - tom ted top ten - This one is top. See how I put a line through it. Now you have a go with the second box. The word I want you to find is bat.

Now we will have a go at the other boxes. First we are going to do it for letters. I will say a word and you try to find it as fast as you can. As soon as you find it, put a line through it. Note how long the student takes to find the word in each box. Record it under the target word for the box below.
