|---|
| 1 | flame | a_e | CCVCe • /f/ /l/ /ā/ /m/ | | |
| Short a (*flam*), drops blend /l/ (*fame*) | | | | | |
| 2 | spine | i_e | CCVCe • /s/ /p/ /ī/ /n/ | | |

| Short o (*ston*), drops blend /st/ |
| 4 | prune | u_e | CCVCe • /p/ /r/ /ū/ /n/ |

| 6 | glide | i_e | CCVCe • /g/ /l/ /ī/ /d/ |
| Short i (*glid*), final d/b reversal |
| 7 | spoke | o_e | CCVCe • /s/ /p/ /ō/ /k/ |
| Short o (*spock*), blend /sp/ drop |
| 8 | flute | u_e | CCVCe • /f/ /l/ /ū/ /t/ |

< 10 pts (< 70%) Needs Support
Targeted Remediation Recommendations
- • Short Vowel Substitution (reads spock for spoke): Use CVC vs. CVCe contrast folding cards and "Magic e" wand drills.
- • Blend Simplification (drops /l/, /r/, /t/): Practice 4-5 box Elkonin sound tapping boards.
- • Omission of Silent e: Reinforce that silent e gives its power to make the vowel say its name.
