Assess Phonological and Phonemic Awarness Skills
Phonological Awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate the sounds of a language. Phonics is matching those sounds to symbols or letters. Phonics is tied so closely with phonological awareness that we have to look at both to determine the root cause of the reading struggles. The subskills assessed are sentence segmenting, on-set rime, syllables, and phoneme isolation and manipulation. There are two versions of this assessment. One is geared more for primary students and the other offers more advanced phonological awareness and phonemic awareness tasks.

Assess Advanced Phonics & Word Attack Skills
These tests determines if a student is proficient in letter names, letter sounds, and decoding at the word level. Each section assesses one phonetic pattern (such as short vowels with digraphs). It concludes with multisyllabic words. This assessment allows you to determine exactly where you need to begin your phonics instruction. It also offers both real and nonsense words to account for memorization of familiar words.

6 Syllable Types- Plus! - This test is similar to CORE Phonics as it gives real and nonsense words for each phonetic pattern. Included are real and nonsense words containing the six syllable types (closed, open, silent e, r-controlled, vowel team, consonant -le), plus these additional patterns: soft c and g, -dge/-tch, multisyllabic words, word endings, and phonetically irregular words.
Spelling Inventories - It is important to have students decode and spell nonsense words. These assessments are basic spelling tests that can be given whole group or one-on-one. Student will be assessed on their encoding of words that incorporate all the basic phonetic patterns. It breaks the words into the spelling stages of Early-phonetic, Phonetic, Transitional, and Fluent to determine which skills your students have and are struggling with.

Fluent Reading of Connected Text Skills
Words correct per minute has been found to be an accurate and powerful indicator of overall reading competence, especially in its strong correlation with comprehension. If students have accurate decoding skills but the rate of their reading is below then you may need to provide fluency intervention or assess for vocabulary, word awarenes and comprehension skills using one or more of the following assessments.
