The Auditor's Bench

Welcome. Everything on this page runs the program's own shipping code, the same validator that gates every line a child ever sees. Nothing here is a demonstration copy: if you can break it, you have found something real, and we want to know.

Companion doors: The Staircase (every step in teaching order, one click each) · the full scope & sequence · a sample parent report · the Ten-Minute Tour.

1. The line tracer

Paste any line, yours or ours, and pick a step. The tracer runs the shipping validator at that step and then finds, for every word, the earliest step at which that word becomes legal, so you can see exactly where each word earns its place.

Hero and companion names (chosen by each family) are validated against a separate allowed-name list in the app; the tracer runs with that list empty, the strictest possible reading.

2. Validator proof, run it yourself

The claim on our scope page is that a line using an untaught pattern cannot ship. This button takes every child-facing line in the curriculum itself, every decodable sentence, every dictation word and sentence, every word-work word and chain, and validates each one at its own step, in your browser, right now.

3. The skills trace, step by step

Every step in the program: what it teaches, every new pattern with its sound, every irregular word with the printed reason a child sees for its one odd part (nothing is ever memorized as a shape), and every word reclassified as fully decodable when its pattern arrives.

4. How progress is measured

A placement check sets the starting step before instruction begins. A 1-minute oral reading fluency probe records a baseline in the very first session, then repeats every fifth session (roughly weekly): the app listens, scores words correct per minute, and stores the trend. The parent report charts that trend against the Hasbrouck & Tindal 2017 national ORF norms, parent-facing only, a struggling reader sees their own growth, never a percentile. Grade 1 and below are never norm-compared. The parent-facing goal is the 50th percentile, fast enough, with a 96% word-reading accuracy bar before speed growth is celebrated, and the paced-reread light is capped at the grade-level 50th percentile by design. Mastery gates hold a child at a step until the material is genuinely secure, and eight-plus probes with a flat trend raise an escalation flag suggesting professional evaluation.
