Foundation Screening & Tracking Manual
The Foundation 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 Foundation Teaching Sequence Manual. In this way, the screens function as a check-in […]

Whole School Phonic Sight Word Sequence Placement Screening
The Phonic Sight Word Sequence placement test, is designed to very quickly establish the range in ability within a class, and provide the stages or levels for which explicit, structured teaching is required.
The Phonic & Sight Word Sequence Spelling Profiles are designed to track the development of single word spelling based upon PLD’s Structured Synthetic Phonics sequence.

Early Years Pre-Literacy Screening
The Pre-Literacy Screens have been designed to profile the acquisition of core literacy precursor skills that will impact later reading, spelling and phonic development.
The screen focuses on two main skills: 1. Phonological Awareness: the ability to attend to the phonological structure or sound structure of words. 2. Alphabetic
Foundation Pre-Literacy Screen
Revised for 2020.
The screen focuses upon two main skills:
- Phonological Awareness: the ability to attend to the phonological structure or sound structure of words.
- Alphabetic Knowledge: or more specifically letter sound identification.
Both skills have been identified in education, speech pathology, educational psychology and dyslexia research as predictors of success and difficulties in reading performance.
This screen tracks the precursors of decoding (ie: blending the alphabet sounds) and the precursors of spelling (ie: phonemic segmentation and alphabet recall and formation).
The Foundation Pre-Literacy Screen covers:
- Subtest 1: Blending which is a precursor to decoding or reading ability
- Subtest 2: Alphabet Sound Knowledge to support reading
- Subtest 3: Segmentation of CVC Words a precursor to spelling and writing
- Subtest 4: Alphabet Sound Recall & Formation – Supporting Spelling & Writing
The stimulus sheets are available in cursive and Foundation Font. This screen also applies to: Pre-Primary (WA), Kindergarten (NSW/ACT), Prep (QLD/VIC/TAS) Reception (SA) & Transition (NT). If training is required to administer this assessment, please refer to the following online course: https://courses.pld-literacy.org/courses/Learning-to-read-spell-and-write-in-Foundation
Please note that the test results can be applied directly to excel tracking sheets. Request the 2020 Student Monitoring and Tracking Spreadsheet here.

Learning to Segment CVC Words
From $51.00$51.00 incl. GST A phonemic awareness segmentation program, designed to prepare children for spelling.
Phonological awareness (and more specifically phonemic awareness) appears to unlock the mystery of word recognition and spelling. Once a child is conscious of the sounds that comprise words, the mapping of the sounds to the alphabetic system occurs with much greater ease. The Phonemic Awareness Readiness for Spelling The phonemic awareness pre-requisite for spelling simple regular CVC [consonant-vowel-consonant] words such as ‘tap’, ‘sun’ and ‘log’ is the skill of segmentation. E.g. ‘What sounds can you ‘hear’ (i.e. identify) in the word ‘peg’?’ Answer: ‘p’… ‘e’… ‘g’. The simple but powerful learning activities included in Learning to Segment CVC words for Foundation learners, provide multiple opportunities for students rehearse this important pre-requisite skill. The negative side of presenting activities without attention to the pre-requisite skill is that it does not set up all children for success. When this program is used in conjunction with screening this program forms a significant component in a school’s preventative/early intervention strategy. Includes: A no-preparation required full colour eBook. Introduction/Note from the author. Over 40 coloured picture which develop the skill of segmentation. Each card has specific scripted instructions providing clear guidelines on how to effectively teach segmentation. A progress check/skill assessment to review readiness for spelling. The colour card sets form the basis of short explicit instruction sessions. The programs within the range include: Learning to Blend Onset and Rime Learning to Blend Three Phonemes This product is mentioned in the Foundation Teaching Sequence Manual on page 7 and the Year 1 & 2 Teaching Sequence Manual on page 19.
