Phonics screening and assessment is essential to knowing where your students are in their growth as readers and for planning effective instruction.

I designed these phonics assessments based on my years of experience as a reading intervention teacher. They are a great tool that will help you:

• plan instruction
• identify phonics deficiencies
• plan reading interventions
• track and document RTI
• monitor progress toward IEP goals
• inform parent-teacher conferences

If you’re a homeschool parent, these screeners are a great tool for pinpointing where to focus your phonics lessons. If your child is struggling to read on level, a comprehensive phonics assessment can help you identify where the problem lies.
