Phoneme Recognition Assessment

2 parallel pseudo-word assessments
that provide an analysis of
decoding skills and knowledge.
NONWORD, through the use of pseudo-words, provides an assessment to identify specific areas of decoding difficulty in students who are
able to read but are still having difficulty with some words.what the student is seeing and what attack strategies they have for reading unknown words.
NONWORD CONTENTS
Contains 1 book & a double-sided laminated card
FOR USE BY
specialists & classroom teachers
FOR USE WITH
8 yr olds – adults
SETTING
Individual
PURPOSE
NONWORD identifies those letter blends that a student either does
not know, or is not able to recognize quickly enough for efficient reading.
This information provides the basis of a targeted teaching program.
CONTENTS
- Manual – with Guide and 2 Copymasters
- Double-sided laminated card containing Student Lists A & B
KEY FEATURES
- Two separate, but parallel sets of 30 words, which become
progressively more difficult to decode. - Notes to assist analysis of assessment and subsequent teaching plan.
- Suggested steps in a phoneme teaching plan.
- NONWORD avoids known sight words –
ensuring active reading of phonemes. - Can be used as a decoding or auditory recognition/oral
ability assessment. - Can isolate a student’s ability to:
- identify individual letters and their sounds in words
- identify the phonemic chunks
- join phonemic chunks
- recognize and use syllables
UNIQUE FEATURE
Unlike many other pseudo-word assessments,
NONWORD goes the extra mile by describing
the specific phonemic chunks that are being targeted
thus enabling a more precise teaching programme to be developed
