HOW TO USE
• Do the Before Check first
• Read one card a day, about 5 minutes
• Show the model line and the hand signal, then read each YOU SAY line
• Colour the day's circle on the tracker
• Do the After Check at the end and compare on the Progress Snapshot
• Repeat a week any time; every child moves at their own pace
HOW TO PRINT
• Print at "Actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page"
• Regular paper works; 65-110 lb card stock makes sturdier cards
• Cut each card page on the dashed line, or skip printing and read the cards on a tablet
