t *OUSPEVDFUIFUBTL“Here is a list of words. Put your finger on the first
word on the list. I want you to read each word. Some of the words will
be easy for you and some will be more difficult. Don’t worry. You are not
expected to know all of them. I just want you to do your best. If you don’t
know a word after trying your best, skip it and go on to the next word.”
