Mini Assessment
Please take some time today to see how your child is getting on. There are 2 parts to this assessment and you may need to give your child a break between each so they don't switch off and stop trying!
Part 1- Letters & Sounds
Please point to the letters on the phase 2 sound mat and ask them to tell you the sound for each grapheme they see. Please note the sounds they can read by themselves.
Could you please let me know which sounds your child is still struggling to remember.
Part 2
Ask your child to read the following words. Ask them to press the sound buttons (point to the graphemes) one at a time and say the sound and then blend these sounds together to read the word.
For example c-a-t cat
gap hum bat
dog fit red
sock ink
pet hill
Please do not help your child at all with this today as I would like to know how they get on by themselves. Please email and let me know how many of the words they could read by themselves. This is very difficult for some children so please do not worry if they cannot do this just yet.
