A fully editable 9-page EAL screening form.
The aim of this screening form is to establish a student’s basic English language proficiency; to identify a student who requires EAL, EFL, ESL support and to identify topic areas a student may need to develop.
Before carrying out the screening form, it is helpful to say to the child, ‘During the task, I will circle some areas that you find a bit tricky. This is to help me know which areas I need to focus on in class so that I can make your English even better!’ By saying this, the student will be reassured from the start.

Guided Reading Weekly Planning Template (over 4 days).
Younger students (YR 1 - YR 3): 8 sets of guided reading books are required (2 sets of books per group).
Older students (YR 4 - YR 6): 4 sets of guided reading books are required (1 set of books per group).
Please note: Allow for 4 timetabled guided reading sessions each week.
2 adults are needed to complete each guided reading session - normally the class teacher and TLA (Teaching and Learning Assistant) - but you just need 2 responsible adults.
Each guided reading session lasts approximately 50 minutes and each group of children should be listened to for 20 minutes (2 groups at a time).
10 minutes (per session) is allocated to changing groups and to explain independent activities - at the beginning and halfway through the session.
1 day per week (normally Friday), the guided reading session WILL NOT take place. You can choose the day!
Groups and Independent Activities: Divide your class into 4 groups (these can be colour groups, different animals, shapes - whatever you decide).
When a group is NOT being listened to, they will complete an independent activity set by you - it can link to the book they are reading or completely unrelated (e.g. a handwriting, spelling or times tables task). These are called pre-reading activities (an activity to complete BEFORE they read with an adult) or post-reading activity (an activity to complete AFTER they read with an adult).
Learning outcomes: Choose books from the same genre - fiction, non-fiction or poetry. A maximum of 3 learning outcomes should be focused on each week.
Monday’s timetable: FIRST, the TLA will listen to the red group WHILST the teacher listens to the orange group.
AFTER reading to the adult, the red and orange group will complete their independent activity (set by you).
NEXT, the TLA will listen to the green group WHILST the teacher listens to the black group.
BEFORE reading to an adult, the green and black group will have completed an independent activity (set by you).
The 5th day: On this day, you DO NOT do guided reading.
Instead, you could ask your student’s to read independently (or with a partner).
Alternatively, you could visit the library, read a book to your class OR read a ‘shared’ class text.
This individual education plan is an effective way to facilitate an individual education programme for a child with specific learning needs (SEN, G & T etc.)
