Wraparound Research & Evaluation
A brief guide for data collection
The information contained aims to supplement the Wraparound Spelling tracker. The tracker has
been designed by the Highland Council Psychological Service with the aim of distributing it to those
who have attended Wraparound Spelling workshops.
For support and guidance surrounding Wraparound spelling, contact:

Note: Cells with an orange fill are the only cells which require input! There
is no need to touch anything else.
The Process
There are currently two tools we will use to examine the impact Wraparound Spelling.
1. The Blackwell Spelling Assessment
2. Wraparound Screening & Monitoring Tools
Examples of these tools can be found within Appendices One & Two, and they should be available
within the packs provided to you.
The Process of the Evaluation is illustrated within the Excel document. An example timeline with
dates can be viewed below.

You do not have to follow these dates prescriptively, the earlier the implementation the better. But
either way, aim to keep the time intervals between screening and assessment relatively consistent.


A screening and monitoring session should be completed approximately every 6 weeks
Blackwell Spelling Assessment should completed approximately every 18 weeks
Introduction

Upon opening the Wraparound Spelling Tracker, you will be introduced to the Introduction
Page.

This contains brief information, but most importantly the means in which you can navigate
throughout the sheet.
Introduction Worksheet


Each section is named after and aligned to each appropriate time point, which includes the
information you will collect.
You can navigate through the sheet using the colour tabs below; or through the hyperlinks
which will take you straight to each sheet.
Register












The Register will contain the most amount of information. You will only need to complete
this once.
There is information at the top of the page to complete, such as the name of the school and
the nature of the class. For example, if the class is a Primary 3 or a Primary 3/4 composite.
The majority of the information to input is self-explanatory, but there is a codebook for
some variables. This aims to capture a lot of information through simply labelling categories
as numbers.
It is important to make yourself familiar with the codebook
from sheet to sheet, as it may change slightly throughout the
codebook. Below are some notes on the information you will
input for the register.
Name: Enter the full name of the individual.
Gender: This can be a simple M or F for Male or Female.
Initials: The initials for any forenames and surnames.
Date of Birth: The date of birth of the individual
(DD/MM/YYYY).
SIMD: The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation. This is scored
between 1-10, where 1 is the most deprived and 10 is the least
deprived.
ASN: For ASN, note the number and assign appropriately. If an individual has a diagnosis of
Dyslexia and ADHD, you can enter ‘1, 2’. Or if it is a case that the individual has Dyslexia and
an additional support need not listed, it would appropriate to input ‘1, 5’.
EAL: English as an Additional Language. 0 is for native English speakers, 1 is for individuals
who have learned English as a second language.
Previous Experience of Wraparound: This is to account for individuals who may have been
exposed to the Wraparound Spelling materials in the last session. Where ‘Y’ is that they have
had experience of it, and ‘N’ is where they have not.
CfE Level: Curriculum for Excellence Level. The CfE level for the child is currently performing
at in terms of reading, as outlined within the Experiences and Outcomes.
Remember to work along the rows, and double check you are entering the correct information for
the right individual. It can be easy to mistakenly input the information for the wrong person!
The Register
Baseline






The Baseline page, as previously mentioned, aligns to the baseline point in time. This is
where the first phase of data collection is conducted prior to implementation of the
materials.
As described, this consists of a Blackwell Spelling Assessment & the appropriate spelling
screening and monitoring tool.
You’ll notice that a considerable amount of the details from the register page is present.
Where you have inputted this information into the register page, you’ll find it will have
transferred appropriately.
When completing the Blackwell Assessment information, you will only need the date in
which the assessment is completed as well as the Raw Score, the results from the
Assessment. This will automatically calculate the individual’s chronological age; as well as
their equivalent age performance according to the Blackwell.
For those with a score <10, you will need to click the box above the Raw Score column. This
will highlight a new column which will display new age equivalent scores. Only take note of
those who score <10.
For the screening tool, refer to the codebook. You will rely based on judgment in regards to
the individual’s performance on the screening tools provided. The columns within this table
align to the specific areas identified in the tools provided(see Apendix Two).
Finally, there are open text boxes as you scroll along to the right. The questions may differ
from each point in time. Nonetheless, please feel free to engage with them and note down
as much details as possible in order to collect as much information as possible.
Screening



Following the Baseline Point, you will just need to screen until the next Blackwell
Assessment.
The codebook remains the same, with two screening tables per the one sheet.
Again, the only information required is the date and the judgement of achievement as per
the codebook.
Screening and Monitoring Worksheets





After the two screening periods after the baseline data collection phase, you will be coming
to the Mid-Point data collection phase.
This is almost identical to the Baseline Sheet, but slightly different.
For the Blackwell Assessment, you’ll notice two new columns. This will record whether there
has been a change in the CfE Level; and how many days absence there has been between
the two time points.
The only other change to the sheet is the open ended questions which can be found if you
scroll right.
Other than that, the rest of the functionality remains the identical to the Baseline Sheet.
Mid-Point & End Point Worksheets
Screening & End Point







This process between screening periods and returning to the Blackwell will repeat itself, with
little changes to the sheets.
Just remember that for days absent, it is the number of days between the two time points.
Hence, you’ll be recording the number of days absent between the Baseline time point to
the Mid-Point; and the Mid-point to the End-Point.
At the end of the entire process of evaluation, we would ask you to share the anonymised
Raw Data sheet.
This contains information of the progress individuals have made, in which the results will be
statistically analysed.
Information will be relayed back to individual schools regarding the findings, and the overall
pooled findings may be produced within an official report.
To send the data back, you will access the Raw Data sheet at the very end
o Note: This should not be altered in anyway. There is no need to input information
into this sheet, it is done automatically
In order to do so, simply click the upper most left hand box – this will highlight the whole
sheet. Copy & paste this into a new Microsoft Excel sheet. Save the document and send it via
email to the Literacy Development Officer.
Raw Data Worksheet
Appendix One
Instructions for marking the Blackwell Spelling Test
1. If at any point a student gets 5 words in a row wrong, you should stop marking
the piece and calculate the total.
2. The formulas for working out the spelling age of the student is to put a
decimal between the two figures in the total, then add 6 to the first number.
For example: If a student gets a total of 36
Their spelling age is 9.6
If a student gets a total of 88
Their spelling age is 14.8
3. If a student gets single figures [very, very rare], place a zero and a decimal in
front of the total figure and then add 6 to the first figure as normal.
For example: If a student gets a total of 2
Then their total is 0.2
Their spelling age is 6.2
4. If a student gets 100 [I have never seen this happen], their spelling age is 16
years.
5. To decipher the student’s spelling colour-group, use the following
information:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet
0 – 8.0
8.0 – 8.9
9 – 10.4
10.5 – 12.5
12.6 – 13.4
13.5 – 16
6. On the front of the students’ answer sheet, write down the following
information:

I caught the last train home.
I went to the till at the supermarket.
He was wearing a pink shirt.
The shirt was missing a button.
I looked at the clock to see the time.
The water in the lake looked cold.
The bird didn’t like being in a cage.
It’s nice to see you all.
It’s a shame we’re in school!
Those uniforms look very smart!
You usually start a letter with dear Mr smith
An open fire may have coal in it.
The flow of the river is fast.
The street looks busy with all the cars.
That pink shirt has a new button
He is a short and stout man
In the afternoon he plays golf
That’s because he has retired
And anything is better than watching TV all day!
Would you like to watch TV all day?
You could write a report on daytime TV.
We could debate the differences between shows,
The stream contained lots of fish.
He made a mistake
He wanted to invite his mum fishing
He thought the maggots would give her a fright
So instead he asked his dad
So he could sit on dad’s knee
But a monkey got there first.
A cake is made with flour
The cake wouldn’t last a month in my house!
I work here at school
The car’s engine is powerful
I have a picture of it on my wall
I like making chains from the daisies in the garden
My friend does too
The people on the street are friendly
It’s a surprise when you bump into someone you know.
Hopefully we are all in good health
And we like to laugh
I don’t think an insect can laugh
The length of an insect is very short
Maybe we could watch a speech about insects
Or birds that have lost a feather
It’s best to avoid losing feathers
Especially up a mountain
It’s hard to find shelter up a mountain
The winds are powerful
You wouldn’t get a parcel up a mountain
Your happiness is very important in school

The soldier is happy fighting
But not when he has to bury a colleague
You are writing the correct spellings
Time to stretch your hands
The lights are electric
We could measure the brightness of the lamps
We could build a new classroom
The walls need to be straight
It could look beautiful
A circle has a curve
You wear a bandage over a bad wound
The train only had one carriage
There were lots of cups in the cupboard
The woman in charge was the chief
The weight of the car was two tonnes
Autumn comes after summer
It is my favourite season
Winter makes me anxious
You could sustain an injury
That depends on the strength of the storm
We write sincerely at the end of a letter
We put RSVP at the end of an invitation
Magicians can disappear into thin air
They create mischief with their tricks
It is possible they are hiding something.
It is not an accident
They have superior knowledge
The choir sang in harmony
But had a nasty quarrel when it sounded bad
Most people like chocolate cake
The information office had lots of visitors
Sports day involved a big competition
The official referee was called in
The athlete’s accommodation was very plush
It was a brilliant occasion
The Olympics were a big success
It was a good decision to hold it in the UK
The cyclist went up a gradual incline
The business made lots of money
The foreign visitors enjoyed their trips
The mysterious lights were a spaceship
It fascinated the people below
Especially the locals
Society has welcomed the new arrivals to earth
The mayor gave them the honour of visiting the queen
But the mosquitoes bit them as their blood was tasty
They had to be kept separate
It was a privilege to visit them
It felt awkward to say goodbye
I would recommend going to visit them before they leave
