Phonics Assessment Forms

There are two types of phonics assessments offered. The first type assesses a child's ability to associate a sound with a given symbol, and the second type assesses a child's ability to decode nonsense words. The nonsense word assessments progress from decoding common sounds to less common sounds. For example, the first assessments cover decoding simple CVC words. The later assessments cover blends, long vowels, digraphs, and diphthongs.
