  2. Background information and user guidance • This document “Letters and Sounds: SENCO Assessment Pack for Phonics and HFWs”is based on the DCSF guidance to schools: “Letters and Sounds: Principles and Practice of High Quality Phonics” (Ref: 00281-2007FLR-EN). • It is essential that this assessment pack is used within the context of the original guidance “Letters and Sounds: Principles and Practice of High Quality Phonics”.

  3. How should it be used? • This assessment pack is designed for use in schools by SENCOs and SEN support staff to conduct a more detailed diagnostic assessment of the word level reading and spelling skills of pupils. • It should assist SENCOs to determine which phases or elements within “Letters and Sounds: Principles and Practice of High Quality Phonics” have not been successfully achieved by a specific group of pupils - those who may have a SEN.

  4. What does it look like? • Very similar to the current HFW and Phonics checklist • There are both teacher record sheets and pupil friendly word lists. • Obviously set out in the new L&S Phases. • We have not included Phase 1 as schools will use the L&S document to assess pupils strengths and weaknesses in this area of “pre-phonics”.

  5. Who is it intended for? • “Letters and Sounds: SENCO Assessment Pack for Phonics and HFWs” is not intended for use by class teachers to replace their usual classroom assessments and observations of pupils’ learning of HFWs and phonics. • Most pupils assessed with this tool will not be in Reception classes or Year 1 but are likely to be older pupils who are still working to achieve skills in Phases 1-6 of Letters and Sounds. • The Learning Support Service intends to ‘migrate’ to a Learning Support Service version of this assessment tool from September 2008, making use of it in our assessments with appropriate pupils.

  6. Where can I get it and how much? • It is free for use in Dudley schools. • A gift from Learning Support Service to Dudley SENCOs! • We will place this on the SENCO web-site, sending all SENCOs an email with direct link. • If you don’t receive this in the next 2 weeks, please contact Alice Tromans or Sheila Briscoe on 3733.
