Phonics Screener and Decoding Assessments Based on the Science of Reading
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Do you struggle grouping kids for intervention in phonics and reading? For me, the hardest part of switching to a Science of Reading based reading instruction was relearning reading groups. These phonics screeners and decoding assessments are a quick and accurate way to group kids for phonics intervention groups.
WHAT ARE DECODABLE PHONICS SCREENERS?
This decodable phonics screener is 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 and dating your data.
None of the student pages mention grade levels so these can be used with older kids who are struggling as well.
These screeners match my sets of decodable readers and decoding passages. Shop all of those here.
Read more about how I use these screeners and other reading assessments in this blog post.
