EGRA PUPIL CONTEXT INTERVIEW-ILOKANO 4

Start the timer when the child reads the first letter. Follow along with your pencil and clearly mark any incorrect letters with a slash (/).
Count self-corrections as correct. If you’ve already marked self-corrected letter as incorrect, circle the letter and go on. Stay quiet,
except when providing answers as follows:

If the child hesitates for 3 seconds, provide the sound of the letter; point to the next letter and say “Sige, ituloymo.” Mark the letter
you provide to the child as incorrect. If the student gives you the letter name, rather than the sound, provide the letter sound and
say: (‘Ibagam man kenyak ti uni daytoy a letra.’). This prompt may be given only once during the exercise.
AFTER 60 SECONDS SAY, “Stop.” Mark the final letter read with a bracket (]).
Early stop rule: If you have marked as incorrect all the answers on the first line with no self-correction, say “Agyamanak!”,
discontinue this exercise, check the box at the bottom, and go on to the next exercise.

COMPONENT 3b. Initial Sound Identification
This is NOT a timed exercise and THERE IS NO STUDENT SHEET. Read aloud each word twice, and have the student say the sounds.
Remember to model the sound: /o/, not “pub” or “pay”. Say:

Kitaenta man ti laing mo nga agdengngeg. Kayatko nga ibagam ti umuna nga uni dagiti sawek. Pagarigan, ti sao nga “aba”, ti

(If the child responds correctly, say): Ay, naglaing nga ubing! Ti umuna nga uni a mangngeg ti sao a “nars” ket /n/.
(If the child does not respond correctly, say): Denggem manen: “nars”. Ti umuna nga uni daytoy ket /n/.

Maawatam/ Masurutam/Matarusam ti aramidenta?

Read the prompt and then pronounce the target word a second time. Accept only as correct the isolated sound (without a shwah).
If the child does not respond after 3 seconds, mark as “No response” and say the next prompt. Enunciate clearly; but do not
overemphasize the beginning sound of each word.

Early stop rule: If the child responds incorrectly or does not respond to the first words, say “Agyamanak!”, discontinue this exercise,
check a box at the bottom of the page, and go to the next exercise.
