If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class.

Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence.

Diagnostic Phonic Assessment Tool Kit: Phonic Test
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, Teacher Tools, Assessments
Diagnostic Phonic Assessment Tool Kit: Phonics Test This resource is aimed at children up to the age of 12 (though it could well be used with an older child with a younger mental age) and aims to test foundational phonic skills. It can be used to help teachers assess a child's basic phonic knowledge and ability, and the results can then be used as a baseline on which to plan future work. The phonics test does not look like a test, and it is hoped that the child will enjoy the activity and not be aware that they are being tested and therefore, perform well. What is included? The Phonics Test includes an 87-slide PowerPoint that takes the pupils from one simple activity to another. Each activity has detailed instructions to help the tester feel confident about administering the tests as well as guidance as to how to interpret the results. What is tested by this phonics test? Does the child know the sounds each letter of the alphabet stands for? Can the child hear the beginning sound of a word and match it to the corresponding letter? Does the child know the vowel sounds well? Can the child sequence 3 sounds to spell a word? Can the child hear the medial and final sounds of a CVC word? Can the child sound out to read CVC words with a short vowel sound? Checks for fluency in reading sentences with CVC words Can the child blend 2 consonants? Can the child blend 4 sounds in a short vowel word with a consonant blend - initial only, as I find that final blends such as mp are easier for most children, whereas final blends such as NK and ND are harder and are best left until the child has had more experience with phonics Can the child read a short passage with a mix of CVC and CCVC words? : Versatility The Diagnostic Phonic Assessment tool kit blends well within diverse educational amplifications: homeschoolers yearning structured guidance framing phonic programs like ‘Reading Made Simple’, public school teachers seeking extra reinforcement facilities for students falling behind in peer comparisons. Even private tutors or parental caregivers anxious regarding a child’s progressing literacy levels can utilize this resourceful tool kit. Compatibility: This package melds seamlessly with any existing phonics programme and comes as a boon for special needs educators trying to bridge foundational skill gaps and rooting strong learning bedrock in students. File Types: The availability of multiple file types facilitates user convenience and enhances ease of use. Conclusion In summation, the Diagnostic Phonic Assessment Tool Kit stands as an irreplaceable partner in addressing potential reading issues, prioritizing early interventions, and nurturing consistent literacy growth across varied environments.
