The following sample test was constructed for the purpose of teaching how to administer the ToPhS. Start with the first item on the anticipated grade level test. The two paired columns represents a separate test. The columns that the student is not being tested on must be concealed (cover with a blank sheet of paper) before beginning and throughout the test. There are two ways of administering the ToPhS as indicated in Form 1 and 2.
Form 1: Instruct the students to draw a line from rhyming word to rhyming word.
Form 2: Point to where you want the student to start enunciating the items. The examiner must enunciate the first set of rhymes, then say, "Now you continue." Circle the missed sets until the student misses five consecutive items pairs then say "stop*."
* Reference where the student stopped with the sequencing and Criteria Scale. The teacher should proceed with a literacy program for the student that focuses on those skills that the student has not mastered.
