How to use this file The Key Skills for Literacy file contains a range of resourced activities to assess all aspects of phonic acquisition in all phases. All resources are included but need to be initially prepared and laminated to ensure ease of use and accessibility. Some activities involve children writing on laminated cards which then have to be photocopied for evidence. It is important that the resources are used in this way and not as a worksheet. Some children are less confident and therefore using wipe off boards can be a better way to gather evidence. Similarly some activities involve reading words on individual cards rather than lists for this reason. All activities, once made can be put into plastic zip wallets and stored in 2 box files. Multiple copies of recording sheets for adults and pupils can be kept in a ring binder.

Outline of Phonic and Early Reading assessment tasks Summative assessment summarises where learners are at, at a given point in time it provides a snap shot of what has been learned. Teaching or assessing? 1. Assessment is not teaching. The aim is to find out what the child can do independently, without any help. 2. Note what the child does, as well as what he knows. 3. Do not give the child credit for what is not known as it will impact on teaching and may create gaps and confusions. 4. Note strengths, weaknesses and patterns of behaviour. 5. Do not give specific prompts or clues. If the child need these then he/she is not secure in their learning. 6. Provide immediate feedback to the class teacher in order to identify next steps. 7. Make sure the assessment information is shared by all adults supporting the child. Assessment tasks must be completed at the beginning and the end of planned intervention to measure the impact. These materials can be used in a variety of ways: On-going phonic assessments with children working at age related expectations to identify if a phase has been achieved. As a tool to support AfL. As a diagnostic tool to identify which aspects of a particular phase a child may not be secure with. As a diagnostic tool to identify gaps in a child s knowledge. As a diagnostic tool with KS2 children to identify specific gaps in phonic knowledge.

Getting started on assessment tasks 1. Teacher identifies the children to be assessed. If there are number of children needing support, then the assessments will help identify those for whom intervention is most suitable and identify which phonic gaps need to be addressed. 2. Ensure there are enough photocopied record sheets from the photocopiable masters. 3. Write each child s name, chronological age and date on the record sheets before you begin. 4. Remember not to prompt or teach. You need a clear picture of the child s phonic knowledge at a particular point in time. 5. Make the assessments fun and non-threatening. If the child is relaxed you are more likely to get a true picture of their phonic knowledge. 6. Stop the assessments at the point when you have got the information you need (e.g. if there are 10 captions and you have enough evidence with 3 or 4 stop). 7. Refer to the guidance sheet in the file to help you complete the assessment. 8. If the tasks take longer than 20-25 minutes ask whether this is due to your unfamiliarity with the tasks or whether you are giving the child too long to respond. 9. Reward the child after the assessments with a sticker merit to celebrate their efforts.

Guidance for completion of the assessment sheets Letter/phoneme recognition Works slowly/quickly Response mainly/totally by phoneme/name/word Independent/needed prompts Note confusions (auditory g/k, d/t or visual n/u/h, b/d etc or both) Note letters known/unknown whichever is quicker Note whether lower case are better known than upper case Note whether phonemes represented by 2 or more graphemes are read as one phoneme High Frequency Words Note speed, attitude, confusions Whether child will make an attempt and how the word is attempted Note if guessing by initial letter, reading last letter first Oral blending Note speed, attitude, confusions Whether child will make an attempt and how the word is attempted Note if all phonemes are identified Note if child reads whole word after blending Oral segmenting Note speed, attitude, confusions Whether child will make an attempt and how the word is attempted Note whether child segments each letter or segments phonemes correctly i.e. l-i-g-h-t instead of l-igh-t Segmenting (spelling) Letter formation, speed, type of words written Spacing on the page (if all over the place) Upper and lower case mixed Recording first letter only, first and last letter Visually similar confusions (note which) Note if abandoned task Can/can t articulate words slowly Which phonemes can be heard Can/can t record long vowel phonemes (home, day) Attitude, speed

Captions and sentences Note speed, attitude, confusions Whether child will make an attempt and how the words are attempted Note if guessing by initial letter, reading last letter first Note if sound-talking words Note if sound-talking high frequency words Non-word reading Note speed, attitude, confusions Whether child will make an attempt and how the word is attempted Note if all phonemes are identified. Writing Sample Letter formation, speed Evidence of writing left to right Spacing on the page Upper and lower case mixed Visually similar confusions (note which) Understanding about print and how books work Note what the child can do What are the next learning objectives in reading and writing for the child? Think about things like pace of work, reading and writing strategies as well as the more obvious need to increase letter and word knowledge. Think how this will inform their next steps. Use the information identified from the diagnostic assessment to focus on what the child can do well and what needs to be worked on to improve phonic knowledge. Prioritise what needs to be done in order to have the biggest impact on progress in phonic attainment. Complete the look out sheet and ensure that all practitioners have access to this at all times to make the next steps visible.

Phase 1 Aspects 1 6 are n not hierarchical: Aspect 1 General sound discrimination environmental sounds Aspect 2 General sound discrimination instrumental sound Aspect 3 General sound discrimination body percussion Aspect 4 rhythm and rhyme Aspect 5 Alliteration Aspect 6 Voice sounds Aspect 7 Oral blending and segmenting Strands Child s response / date Tuning into sounds Listening and remembering sounds Talking about sounds Tuning into sounds Listening and remembering sounds Talking about sounds Tuning into sounds Listening and remembering sounds Talking about sounds Tuning into sounds Listening and remembering sounds Talking about sounds Tuning into sounds Listening and remembering sounds Talking about sounds Tuning into sounds Listening and remembering sounds Talking about sounds Tuning into sounds Listening and remembering sounds Talking about sounds

Phase 1 Aspect 1 Environmental Sounds Resource: Phase 1, Aspect 1 Main purpose Further develop vocabulary and child s identification and recollection of the difference between sounds. Describe and find it Lay out the farmyard animal cards. Describe one of the animals but do not tell the child its name. Say, for example: This animal has horns, four legs and a tail. Ask him/her to say which animal it is. Ask him/her to make the noise the animal might make. When he/she is familiar with the game let the child take the part of the adult and describe the animal for the adult to name. This activity can be repeated with other sets of objects such as zoo animals, toy sets based on transport (e.g. aeroplane, car, train, bus, boat) and musical instruments. It can be made more challenging by introducing sets of random objects to describe and name. Look, listen and note Look, listen and note how well the child: Is able to describe what they see; Is able to identify the animals and imitate the sounds; Add new words to their vocabulary. Comments on child s response (include speed and attitude)

Phase 1 Aspect 2 Instrumental Sound, General Sound Discrimination Main purpose To listen to and appreciate the difference between sounds made with instruments. Matching sounds Provide a selection of percussion instruments (e.g. triangle, tambourine, chime bar, etc). The adult makes a sound or pattern of sounds on one of the instruments. The child must use the same instrument to make the same sound or pattern of sounds. Gradually increase the difficulty by having a more complex sequence of sounds or different rhythms. Look, listen and note Look, listen and note how well the child: Is able to remember and repeat a rhythm. Is able to discriminate and reproduce loud and quiet sounds. Comments on child s response (include speed and attitude)

Phase 1 Aspect 3 Body Percussion, General Sound Discrimination Main purpose To develop awareness of sounds. Adult ask Is this a time to be noisy or quiet? as you present scenarios such as when children are: at the swimming pool; in the library; at a party; with someone who is asleep; in the park; at a friend s house when the friend is poorly; playing hide and seek. Comments on child s response (include speed and attitude)

Phase 1 Aspect 4 Rhythm and Rhyme Resource: Phase 1, Aspect 4 Main purpose To increase awareness of words that rhyme and to develop knowledge about rhyme. Rhyming pairs In a pairs game, use pictures of objects with names that rhyme. The child take it in turns to turn two cards over and keep them if the pictures are a rhyming pair. If they are not a rhyming pair, the cards are turned face down again and the adult has a turn. (Start with a small core set of words that can then be extended). The child need to be familiar with the rhyming word families before they can use them in a game spend time looking at the pictures and talking about the pairs. Comments on child s response (include speed and attitude)

Phase 1 Aspect 5 Alliteration Resource: Phase 1, Aspect 5 Main purpose To explore how different sounds are articulated, and extend understanding of alliteration. Silly soup Tell the child you are going to make some silly soup by putting ingredients (e.g. a banana, bumble bee and bug) into a bowl. Make the pattern clear by emphasising the initial sound. By observing mouth movements draw the child s attention to the way we start each word and form sounds. Tell the child that they are going to concoct his/her own recipes using ingredients that begin with the same sound. Ask the child to place the cards in the bowl. Commentate and congratulate the child on his/her silly recipes. Ask the child to recite list of chosen ingredients. Look, listen and note Look, listen and note how well the child: Can articulate speech sounds clearly; Can select an extended range of words that start with the same sound. Comments on child s response (include speed and attitude)

Child s response / date Go down a slide (whee) Buzz like a bee (zzzzz)) Hiss like a snake (sssssss) Relax into a chair (aaah) Sound surprised (oooo) See something nice to eat (mmmm)

Phase 1 Aspect 7 Oral Blending and Segmenting Resource: Phase 1, Aspect 7 Main purpose To develop oral blending and segmenting of sounds in words. Cross the river Place the object picture cards beside the river. The puppet calls out the name of an object in sound-talk (e.g. p-e-g). The child picks up the object blend the sounds to make the word and cross the river.
