Phonics Assessment

This assessment is suitable for Pre-K & Kindergarten, Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and for many schools will be useful in Key Stage 2 (Grade 1 – 5) as well. It is carried out four times per year. It gives a good overview of the phases children are working at, where to pitch whole class teaching and identifies children who require additional interventions. It gives a good snapshot but more detailed assessments may be necessary to fully explore particular children and their strengths and needs
