CONCEPT
 A tool to retrieve data on pupils’ English language literacy level
 The screening does NOT carr y high stakes – Tr y your ver y best!
 Data should be used to help teachers identify literacy issues and the
instrument format should not be used to teach or train the pupils.
 Two instruments
o Reading
o Writing
 Administered by the English language teacher
o In the classroom / Suitable environment
o During lessons / suitable time

Teachers MUST refer to the manual when administering the reading
instrument and when marking the writing instrument.

KEY REMINDERS
 Teacher has to ensure there is no copying for writing.
 Writing screening needs to be as a whole-class activity.
 Allowed to do the screening with non -LINUS pupils first, then focus
on LINUS students in the class (For reading and writing ).
 NOT required to stick religiously to the SUGGESTED model in
the manual.
e.g.: You may need more time with LINUS pupils but the non -LINUS
pupils can complete the screening within a shor t period
of time.
KEY REMINDERS
- Always ensure classroom is under control. Non-LINUS can be
given some other tasks while teachers attend to LINUS pupils
during screening.
- Other teachers can be roped in to help with the administration
of screening.
- Screening should not be conducted in the form of an
examination/test. Pupils should be relaxed and treat the
screening just like any other exercises.
- Screening should be conducted during classroom contact
hours whenever possible. However, due to time constraint in
some schools, READING screening can be done outside
classroom contact hours by the class teacher.
KEY REMINDERS
-P&P should be conducted in every lesson BUT teacher has
the flexibility to decide time allocated for P&P and screening.
-For lesson planning purpose, include under ‘IMPAK/REFLEKSI’:
e.g.: Reading screening is conducted on five students.
-Plan the administration of the screening accordingly so that
both reading and writing screening can be completed within the
stipulated time frame. (Busy teachers/ absenteeism/class size)
MANUAL AM, MANUAL PENTADBIRAN
INSTRUMEN
 Must be read and used as a reference before and when
administering the screening instruments
 Contents:
 Manual Am: policy, constructs, dates, etc.
 Manual Pentadbiran Instrumen: administration methods, suggested
answers, scoring guide
REMINDERS
 Ensure the names of the pupils are written clearly.
 Ensure all writing instruments have been marked and signed
by the school administrators.
 Ensure all instruments are marked using red ink.
 Ensure the instruments are kept safely by the school
authorities.
BORANG PELAPORAN PENGUASAAN
INDIVIDU
Filled during / after screening instruments are administered
Use ball pens (NO pencils allowed)
Scores should be given fairly and with integrity
Scores should be keyed into NKRA portal within the given time
frame.
 Scores in the portal need to tally with the BPPI
scores/instruments.
