Reading Stars Phonics Assessment Resource Pack

The Reading Stars Phonics Assessment Pack is a fantastic resource to enable teachers to ensure that every pupil is succeeding in their reading. The pack supports the reading books in the Ransom Reading Stars Phonics programme, with a Running Reading Record for every one of the 116 books in the programme. These running records are accompanied by comprehensive details on how to use running reading records, both to monitor children’s individual progress and to ensure that they are reading books at the correct level of difficulty. The pack also includes detailed information on the letters, sounds and high frequency words covered in each reading book, as well as photocopiable checklists of the letters and sounds covered in each phase of the Letters and Sounds programme. Photocopiable high frequency word lists are also included.

Using these resources teachers can:

• Work out how each child is progressing with their reading (including understanding the kinds of errors they are making and the extent to which they are self-correcting)
• Ensure that every child is reading books that are suitably challenging for their reading level (i.e. not too easy and not too difficult)
• Identify where (and what kind of) further help or practice is required for any child at any stage
• Provide a written record of each child's progress.

The pack is supplied in loose-leaf format for a ringbinder so you can photocopy any of the pages, and add in pages for future titles in the programme.
