Which children are building up missing basics that will show as failures — and as students leaving — months from now. Every warning comes with what we're seeing, how sure we are, the next step, who is on it, and when it gets checked. This is what a report card can never give you: time to act.

Tap any child for the full picture. None of this is a verdict — it is a head-start.
What we're seeing. Equivalent fractions has been a gap for three weeks, and it is now breaking her column addition in the worksheets we scan.
What to do next. Bring her into the equivalent-fractions small group. Fix this basic first, before starting addition of unlike fractions.
What we're seeing. Missing basics in Number have grown three weeks in a row, and how much he does on his own is slipping with it.
What to do next. Add him to the same small group. Coach to check in every two weeks on his confidence, not just whether he gets answers right.
What we're seeing. Has the same equivalent-fractions gap as the rest of the Class 5 group, and his pace has slipped below grade level this month.
What to do next. Same small group as Riya. One focused worksheet should sort it, since he reasons well as a builder.
What we're seeing. Works carefully but slowly. The equivalent-fractions gap is what's holding her up, and how much is sticking has eased to 0.74.
What to do next. Add her to the small group and give extra time on the check. Hold off on timed practice until this basic is sorted.
What we're seeing. The tutor has flagged the same 'adds the bottom numbers straight across' mistake over two weeks. Missing basics now at 2.
What to do next. Teacher to check this mix-up in person, then give a worksheet on finding a common denominator.
What we're seeing. How much is sticking has dropped to 0.66 — three Number skills he had learned slipped away over the last two weeks.
What to do next. Bring back a review worksheet twice a week. Check the three faded skills again in ten days.
