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.

My class love this activity - in partners one child wears a blindfold and the other instructs them using these instructions.

I have created a reading record to allow you to monitor each child’s progression alongside their phonic knowledge. I hope this is helpful… please let me know what you think?

Here is a grid to help track Vulnerable children in your class. I complete this grid at the beginning of the year and update it where necessary. It helps me to identify those children that are extremely vulnerable.
