🤖 NBA Recommendation
continuemedium confidence
Rationale: Overall mastery achieved (82%) but significant component weakness identified. Phoneme segmentation well below mastery (60%) while letter knowledge and sight words are strong. Start Level A with supplemental phonemic awareness activities (sound isolation, blending, segmentation drills). Monitor Task A performance closely.
Flagged Issues:
- Phonemic awareness weakness
- Component scores highly variable
- Needs targeted phonemic awareness support
✅ Teacher Decision: Followed NBA
Action Taken: Started Lesson 1 with daily Heggerty Phonemic Awareness supplemental program

🤖 NBA Recommendation
continuemedium confidence
Rationale: Overall approaching mastery (81%) but Task A weakness persists (67%). Interestingly, student can READ words well (Task B: 85%, Task C: 92%) despite weak phonemic awareness. This suggests compensatory strategies or strong visual memory. Continue phonemic awareness intervention but also celebrate reading success. Pattern indicates potential for success despite phonological processing weakness.
Flagged Issues:
- Persistent Task A weakness
- Strong compensation with Tasks B/C
- Consider learning profile assessment
✅ Teacher Decision: Followed NBA
Action Taken: Continued with Heggerty supplement and added multisensory techniques for Task A

🤖 NBA Recommendation
continuehigh confidence
Rationale: Overall mastery maintained (82%) with continued Task A weakness (67%). Pattern is now clear and consistent: student has phonological processing deficit but strong visual word recognition and reading comprehension. Recommend continuing Level A progression while maintaining phonemic awareness support. Student is successfully compensating. Consider formal phonological processing assessment for long-term planning.
Flagged Issues:
- Confirmed phonological processing weakness
- Successful compensation strategy
- Needs continued targeted support
✅ Teacher Decision: Followed NBA
Action Taken: Referred for speech-language evaluation while continuing current supports

🤖 NBA Recommendation
continuehigh confidence
Rationale: Sustained overall mastery (83%) with persistent Task A plateau (67%). Student demonstrating consistent pattern: weak phonological awareness but strong reading application. Speech-language evaluation recommended to identify specific phonological processing needs. Continue Level A progression - student is making expected reading progress despite component weakness. May need long-term phonological processing support beyond reading intervention.
Flagged Issues:
- Persistent phonological processing gap
- Reading progress on track despite weakness
- Needs multi-layered support approach
✅ Teacher Decision: Followed NBA
Action Taken: Continuing Level A with coordinated support from SLP for phonological processing

Projected Outcome
Student maintains overall mastery (81-83%) but has persistent phonological awareness weakness (67% on all Task A assessments). Successfully compensating with strong visual memory and reading comprehension. SLP evaluation scheduled. Will continue Level A with dual support (reading + speech). Demonstrates importance of component-level NBA analysis.
