Assessing in the EYFS
Strategies for teaching
Letters and Sounds
• Multi-sensory approach
• ICT
• Jolly Phonics and Jolly Songs
• Small group work weekly
Sounds, Blending and Segmenting
• Each sound needs to be taught carefully…
• We sometimes use robot arms to help the
children to hear the individual sounds that are
in words
Handwriting
‘Frog on a log’
or
‘Snappy fingers’
Bailey Bird word lists
• A word that cannot be
sounded out is known as a
‘tricky word’.
• The Letters and Sounds
document provides lists of
words that the children
should be able to read and
spell at various stages of
their development.
• Children’s ability to read and
spell these words is assessed
regularly at school.
• Words that children still
need to learn are sent home
on a Bailey Bird in their
communication books to
practise at home.
Reading
• Children will be given 2 books
which are changed weekly.
• We use a variety of reading schemes but
particularly Oxford Reading Tree in the early
stages of reading.
• Reading levels - Children will regularly read
with the teacher and other adults in school.
Judgements about moving up the scale are
made on comprehension and fluency.
• Reading Record Books are for home and for
school use.
Supporting your child’s Literacy
learning at home
• Encourage a love of reading by
sharing books regularly with your
child.
• Help your child to learn the words that are
sent home on their Bailey Bird sheets.
• Remember to use the correct pronunciation of
sounds and use ‘robot arms’ to help blending.
• Point out sounds and words in the
environment.
