Phonics
International Assessment
It is built into the Phonics International programme that assessment
takes place routinely - simply as part of the regular teaching and learning
processes using resources with which the learners are familiar. This not only
enables the assessment of the learners’ progress but also of teaching/programme
effectiveness!
Teachers and parents may find this additional guidance and these
assessments useful:
GUIDANCE
FOR THE PHONICS INTERNATIONAL ASSESSMENTS
This is a brief overview about the additional Phonics International
assessments. Teachers and parents need to make their own sensible decisions
about the use and usefulness of the various assessments according to their
requirements.
ALPHABET
LETTERS ASSESSMENT FOR BEGINNERS
This is a large font simple assessment which can be used as a baseline
and re-test assessment.
DEBBIE

DEBBIE
HEPPLEWHITE'S 'SPOKEN WORD' (ORAL SEGMENTING) TEST
Suitable for pre- and post- phonics teaching.
Unit
5 SAY THE SOUNDS POSTERS
Note that there are three cumulative SAY THE SOUNDS POSTERS in every one
of the 12 units of Phonics International. These can be used to ‘say the sounds’
in response to seeing the graphemes - or ‘point to the graphemes’ in
response to hearing the sounds spoken. The letter/s-sound correspondences on
these SAY THE SOUNDS POSTERS correlate to units 1 to 5 of the Phonics
International programme.

NONSENSE
WORDS ASSESSMENTS
These alphabetic code and nonsense words assessments indicate the
general level of the learners’ alphabetic code knowledge and blending skill.
Advanced readers may use the two pages together (for one assessment) as
appropriate.
page 1: simple alphabetic code - for less advanced or younger
readers
page 2: advanced alphabetic code - for more advanced and/or older
readers
BASELINE
AND POST-UNIT PROGRESS ASSESSMENTS A and B
These are reading and/or spelling assessments for each of the 12 units.
Choose whether to use the A or B sheets (alternate, or use one for reading and
the other for spelling). They can be used as an initial placement
assessment and they can also be used as a progress assessment
per unit. It is recommended that teachers or parents use these sensibly by
selecting words from only one or two units for assessment at any one time.
There is also an optional ‘lines proforma’ for the spelling assessment for each
unit. If spelling is very weak, you may only need to ask for a few spellings to
make an assessment.
The assessments below are identical but the font has a non-cursive letter
