Assessments for Students Experiencing Difficulty Within Stage 1 Targets 1, 2 & 3
Year Level: Year 1 & 2, Years 3 to 6
PLD recommends the presentation of these short assessments to determine why students may not be progressing through Stage 1 at a pleasing rate.ย
These screens have been designed to identify why students are not progressing, or why they are experiencing difficulties acquiring skills within Stage 1. The screens highlight what additional skills require targeting. The results should direct the efforts of Education Assistants and parents, and direct teachers in making modifications to targeted small group or individual teaching programs.
- Difficulty Acquiring Stage 1 Target 1 Reading and Spelling Skills (CVC Words)
Assesses the phonemic awareness, pre-literacy skills of blending (reading) and segmenting (spelling) of CVC words and alphabet sound knowledge. The screen also sources a sample of CVC reading and CVC spelling ability. - Difficulty Acquiring Stage 1 Target 2 Reading and Spelling Skills (CVC Words with Early Stage 1 Phonics)
Assesses the prerequisite skills consisting of alphabet sound knowledge, digraph recall, blending and segmenting of CVC words. The screen also sources a sample of target 2 reading and spelling ability. - Difficulty Acquiring Stage 1 Target 3 Reading and Spelling Skills (CCVC and CVCC Words)
