Publisher's Synopsis
Standardised test that offers the support you need to assess your pupils' phonics and early reading development with accuracy and insight.
The Phonics and Early Reading Assessment (PERA) is matched to the Letters and Sounds framework and the requirements of the Year 1 'phonics screen' as well as to the teaching and assessment needs of schools both before and after the statutory test.
PERA uses words and non-words to assess both phonic knowledge and use of phonics for reading, reading accuracy and comprehension. It also includes an informal pre-phonics assessment to help assess the earliest stages of reading.
- Record sheets designed for easy marking (including miscue analysis) and diagnostic profiling - each test takes up to 10 minutes
- Child- friendly tests presented individually and orally, using illustrated, full-colour reusable cards
- Parallel forms A & B allow up to four separate assessments to inform individual teaching and monitor each pupil's progress from the Foundation Stage and up to Key Stage 1
- Standardised on over 3500 pupils to provide norms - as 'ages' and standardised scores - which are reliable and fully up to date
PERA Test 2 assesses phases 3-5 and into 6 of Letters and Sounds, making it ideal for familiarisation purposes before the 'phonics screen' in the Year 1 summer term. It also provides a framework for re-testing, to ensure progress is monitored and maintained throughout Year 2.
