Forms A & B

? Letter Names & Sounds Survey ? Phonological Awareness Survey ? Phonemic Awareness Survey

More than 20 years of scientific, evidence-based reading research makes clear that all good readers must master certain basic skills. Those skills include the ability to identify letters and associate them to letter sounds and the ability to identify, blend, and match phonemes and syllables.

This complimentary set of informal diagnostic tools enables one-on-one assessment of emerging reading skills. The Pre-Decoding Survey is designed to quickly pinpoint weaknesses in students' pre-decoding skills. The assessments in the Pre-Decoding Survey can be used with students of almost any age to identify strengths and weaknesses.

For students with weaknesses, the surveys can be used to identify which skills have already been mastered and which are weak. This information can help drive appropriate and targeted instruction.

Really Great Reading? Pre-Decoding Skills Survey

Overview

A Brief Explanation of the Pre-Decoding Skills Survey

The Pre-Decoding Skills Survey consists of four separate surveys that assess students' pre-decoding skills: ? Letter Names Survey ? Letter Sounds Survey ? Phonological Awareness Survey ? Phonemic Awareness Survey The Pre-Decoding Skills Surveys contained in this packet allow teachers to: ? Assess the pre-decoding skills of emerging readers and young students ? Pinpoint specific gaps in knowledge and plan appropriate, targeted instruction. The first two Pre-Decoding Surveys in this packet (Letter Names Survey and Letter Sounds Survey) assess a student's knowledge of letter names and letter sounds, respectively. Both of these surveys utilize lowercase letters. The Letter Names Survey includes all 26 letters, and the Letter Sounds Survey includes all 26 letters (note that qu is included rather than q), as well as five common digraphs. The next two Pre-Decoding Surveys (Phonological Awareness and Phonemic Awareness) assess a student's ability to hear, identify, blend, and segment the sound units of English, including larger units (syllables, onset/rime) and smaller units (phonemes or sounds). Each survey includes two forms: Form A and Form B. Form B can be utilized for progress monitoring purposes. Form B can also be used to retest a student if necessary. These forms can be found at the end of this document. Visit our website at to learn more about the additional complimentary assessments offered by Really Great Reading.

TARGET AUDIENCE & PURPOSE

? Give to emerging readers, students who have scored Low, Emerging, or Ready to Launch on the Kindergarten Screener, or students who read fewer than 15 words correctly on the Beginning Decoding Survey or the Foundational Skills Survey page 1

? Quickly identify which lowercase and uppercase letter names a student knows

WHAT IS ASSESSED

? Student's ability to identify and name the 26 letters of the alphabet (both lowercase and uppercase)

MATERIALS

? Letter Names & Sounds Survey Letter Names Student Page ? Form A (or B) ? Letter Names & Sounds Survey ? Recording & Scoring Form A (or B) ? Pen or pencil

ADMINISTRATION

Use the Letter Names Student Pages: ? Ask student to name each letter ? Explain accuracy is more important than speed

NOTE

? If student gives letter sound, prompt with: "That is a letter sound, do you know the name of this letter?"

RECORDING

Use the Letter Names box (lowercase or uppercase) on the Recording & Scoring Form (see examples on page 6): ? Place check mark () next to correct responses (Example 1). ? For errors, record exactly what student says next to the correct letter (Example 2). ? Record all incorrect attempts (Example 3). ? Write SC next to the error if the student self-corrects (be sure to still record the errors) (Example 4). ? Cross out the response and write NT for no try or "I don't know" if the student makes no attempt to name a letter (Example 5). ? Record additional comments and observations in the space provided.

SCORING

After administration: ? Tally correct responses for each row. ? Self-corrections count as errors. ? Total correct responses. ? Highlight or circle appropriate skill level box.

Use the Letter Sounds Student Page: ? Ask student to name the sound spelled by letter(s). ? Explain accuracy is more important than speed.

NOTE

? Short vowel sounds are the correct answers for the vowels. ? Hard c, /k/, for c and hard g, /g/, for g are the correct answers for letters c and g. ? If student gives correct long vowel sounds (or the soft c, /s/, or soft g, /j/, sounds), prompt with:

"Do you know any other sounds that letter spells?" ? If student gives a letter name, prompt with:

"That is a letter name, do you know the sound this letter spells?" ? If the student gives the individual sounds of the letters in a digraph, prompt with:

"Do you know the sound these letters makes when they are together?"
