This assessment starts at Phase 2 and tests through to Phase 6. Teachers just need to point at each sound and word and get children to read each one. If a child gets it right, it can be checked off. Previously, I have created one of these booklets for each child and placed in a folder for TAs to ‘pick up and go’ as interventions or early morning work. This allows teachers to immediately show progression for pupil progress interviews and can then be passed on to the next teacher to see what gaps children have. eyfs reception fs1 fs2 year 1 ks1 jolly phonics read write inc phase letters and sounds
