Sunshine Phonics Decodables Assessment Kit
Five Key Structured Literacy Assessments
Assessment is a key part of tracking students’ progress in their reading journey.
Our Assessment Kit has five parts with which to monitor the key areas critical to reading and spelling success within a structured literacy framework. This ensures students are accurately placed within the programme and are progressing through the decodable books in the Sunshine Phonics programme.
Assessment Kit Contents and Features
- Screening Tests: Use these quick, efficient tests to place students at the correct stage of the Sunshine Phonics series, ensuring they start with material aligned with their current skills.
- Phonics Assessment: A comprehensive evaluation of students’ mastery of new phonemes and graphemes. This assesses their ability to segment and blend decodable words and accurately read taught tricky words (irregular high-frequency words) – core components of structured literacy.
- Assessment of Reading Accuracy: Students read unseen decodable texts to assess their reading accuracy.
- Comprehension Assessment: Assesses understanding of the unseen decodable texts read in the accuracy assessment.
- Encoding Assessment: A systematic assessment of students’ spelling and writing skills through the dictation of words and sentences, directly linking their reading and encoding (spelling) progress.
A detailed instruction sheet guides you on the method for administering each assessment tool.
The Kit also contains two optional Tracker Spreadsheets (Excel format) to record assessment results from either Series 1 or Series 2, and to monitor students’ progress.
