Reading Baseline
Grab
Three text choices: a takeaway menu, a short basketball article, a catalogue page.

He picks ONE text. His choice matters more than the text does.

Tag reading: he reads what he wants, taps the table to pass to you, taps again to take it back.

Then three chat questions: one FIND IT (literal), one WHY (inference), one WHAT DO YOU RECKON (opinion).

Watch for: decoding level, stamina before fatigue, and the gap between decoding and comprehension.

If stuck
You read the whole text, he follows along and answers the questions. That is still reading data.
If comprehension is miles ahead of decoding (likely), that confirms the ear-reading plan.

Writing Baseline
Grab
iPad (talk-to-text and keyboard), pencil as an option.
Say: "Tell me about a business you think is cool. Three sentences."

HE picks the mode: type, dictate, or handwrite. Note which he picks, that itself is data.

No corrections today. None. Save it with the date. This is the BEFORE photo for the whole term, so guard it.
If stuck
One sentence is a complete win.
🧭 Which mode did he pick, and how did it go?
