Record your children’s levels and use the colour-coded system to quickly identify which areas require attention. This valuable resource can help you plan your interventions more effectively and ensure that all your pupils are getting the support they need to thrive. To ensure comprehensive tracking of students’ literacy skills, our assessment plan is divided into three sections. The first section is based on the results of the literacy baseline test. The second section is designed to monitor in-class understanding. The final section is a reassessment at the end of the scheme of work to measure students’ progress. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of each student’s literacy skills, ensuring that they are on track and receiving the support they need to succeed.
