DECISION CHECK
• Low accuracy may indicate a decoding need rather than a rate-only need.
• Strong accuracy with weak prosody calls for phrasing and expression work.
• Rate gains without meaning are not the goal.
• Compare equivalent passages and consistent conditions.
• Accent or dialect differences are not reading errors.
