Diagnostic Phonics Assessments
& Custom Data Tracker

Looking for a phonics assessment that truly breaks things down into specific skills you can work with? My Diagnostic Phonics Assessments & Custom Data Trackers assess from letter names and sounds all the way to 4 syllable words! One syllable words are assessed using both nonsense words, and real words, typically the context of simple sentences, allowing you to identify who  needs continued practice with that skill. Multi-syllable words are assessed with only real words, so that variations in open and closed syllables don’t come into play.

The scope & sequence is designed with UFLI in mind, along with other popular reading programs. Once skills have been assessed in one area, they are intentionally minimally included in the next few subskills. See the detailed scope & sequence below.

6 different assessment sets are included, giving you enough to use throughout the year for both diagnostic testing and progress monitoring.

Phonics Data tracker spreadsheet for classroom teachers and interventionists

Custom Data Tracker:

This custom spreadsheet allows you to analyze your student level and classroom data quickly and easily! At a quick glance, you’re able to create your skill based groups based on student need, and are able to see overall classroom performance on individual skills.

Individual student pages are automatically generated, saving you so much time! They are ready to go for you for parent meetings, IEP data, RtI/MTSS, and whenever you’re looking to make an instructional decision based on student performance. 

The spreadsheet is set up for 3 rounds of diagnostic testing and 6 progress monitoring opportunities throughout the year. If you’re also tracking students’ oral reading fluency, you are able to enter your grade level’s norms and have their fluency graphed right along side students’ phonics skills.

Track Student Progress

You can use the spreadsheet just to track students’ phonics skills on the phonics assessment, or you can use it to reflect a more holistic picture of students’ reading performance by also tracking oral reading fluency with automaticity.
