Qualitative Diagnostic Observations
Struggles with Blending Identifies sounds but cannot synthesize them.
Visual Tracking Issues Loses place, skips rows, or reads right-to-left.
Vowel Substitution Interchanges short vowel sounds (e.g., /i/ for /e/).
Silent-E Ignored Pronounces CVCe words as CVC (e.g., "cape" as "cap").
