Phonics Screener & Decoding Assessments for Progress Monitoring & Small Groups
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Do you struggle grouping kids for Science of Reading aligned interventions? These phonics screeners and decoding assessments are a quick, accurate way to group kids for phonics intervention groups and use for progress monitoring.
For me, the hardest part of switching to a Science of Reading based reading instruction was relearning reading groups. This assessment tool makes forming and teaching reading small groups a breeze.
WHAT ARE DECODABLE PHONICS SCREENERS?
These decodable phonics screeners are aligned with the Science of Reading and are a quick and easy way to find the decoding gaps your K-2 students have and use that data to place them in intervention reading groups for decoding.
There are 3 phonics screeners in this resource:
- Kindergarten – VC and CVC words to identify difficulties with blending certain letter sounds
- 1st Grade – identifies decoding gaps from CVC to diphthongs and silent letters
- 2nd Grade – identifies gaps in advanced phonics skills, affixes, and common Greek & Latin roots
Each screener has a student page and a teacher page. Copy the student page on colored paper or cardstock and laminate. Use a teacher page for each student to record their decoding assessment data. You can use the same page all year long by using a different color pen each time you assess.
None of the student pages mention grade levels so these can be used with older kids who are struggling as well.
