The Early Years Screening & Tracking Manual outlines step-by-step instructions including what and when to screen, the materials required, time allocations and discontinue rules. We recommended that the screens are administered following a solid period of repeated targeted instruction as outlined in the PLD Early Years Teaching Sequence Manual. In this way, the screens function as a check-in on progress.

As a support to the Early Years Screening & Tracking Manual, PLD has recently released Early Years Tracking Sheets Videos which outline how to create the three targeted teaching groups.

Keep in mind that it may be appropriate for schools to adapt the timing of the skills depending upon the demographics of the school community and the associated student entry levels to the school.

  • Preparing for the Alphabet

    Beginning sound awareness: a phonemic awareness program

    Preparing for the alphabet is designed for students aged 4 to 5 and sets about the basics required for pre-literacy. The explicit 5 minute sessions contain an outline of instructions and guidelines on how to effectively teach initial sound awareness. These instructions can form the basis of assistant and parent education. When Preparing for the alphabet is used in conjunction with PLD’s Pre-Literacy Screening this forms a significant component in a school’s early intervention strategy. Children require the phonemic awareness skill of initial sound awareness in order to fully understand the alphabetic system. Why? When children are conscious of single sounds (i.e. they can ‘hear’ and ‘say’ the beginning sounds in words) only then does the alphabetic system make sense; as the alphabetic symbols represent sounds (or phonemes) in words. For example; When a child can identify that ‘sun’ starts with a ‘sssss’ and ‘tap’ starts with a ‘t’ it is then an ideal time to introduce the alphabetic symbols that correspond with the sounds that the child is aware of. Too often the alphabet is introduced without any explicit attention to initial sound awareness. This must-have resource includes: Instructions that provide clear guidelines on how to effectively teach initial sound awareness Screening tool to determine readiness for an alphabet program 27 x mouth cards for continuant sounds with 120 x small activity picture cards 16 x mouth cards for stop sounds with 72 small activity picture cards The programs within the range include: Preparing for the Alphabet Preparing for Spelling Preparing for Reading This product is mentioned in the Early Years Teaching Sequence Manual on page 5.
