Here is a spreadsheet covering all areas for a baseline checklist and overview. This can be used to track and predict children’s progression for Reception. It is a good and easy assessment tool to use alongside observations.
An assessment tool to quickly identify if children are on track or an area for concern? I have created this because of the new EYFS statutory framework and the need to reduce in tracking and assessing. I still wanted to make sure I knew which children needed support in particular areas.
I hide the initial sounds around my room and children use this sheet to find and tick the initial sound off when they find it hidden. It encourages children to recognise and form the letters in an enjoyable activity.
Children are encourage to create their own One Less than story drawing images and telling a story about them e.g. there were 5 balloons and one flew away then there were 4 left… so one less than 5 is 4. Children can create their own stories and draw their own images to help tell their one less than story.

I use this as a checkpoint at the end of the Autumn term to assess if children are at the expected standard and also supports me to plan throughout the term and ensure coverage.
I use this as a checkpoint at the end of the Spring term to assess if children are at the expected standard and also supports me to plan throughout the term and ensure coverage.
This excel spreadsheet helps provide information across the year from your teacher judgments. At the end of each term you can easily see the amount of children and the percentage of children achieving and not achieving in each area of learning. This helps support you with identifying areas to address going forward.
I have created some bug club letter formation ditties to help my children form the letters. These pictures used are in line with the bug club pictures when introducing a new sound. This will ensure fidelity to the scheme.
I sent this out to parents and children before starting school and they completed it at home and sent it back to school. This helped me get to know each child and I also sent out a copy of one I had completed so that they could get to know me too.
