Phase 3 Assessment Student Sheet - Tricky Words - Phonics Phase 3 - Resource

The Phase 3 Assessment Student Sheet is a resource specifically designed for evaluating young learners' ability to read 'tricky words'—words that do not necessarily follow common phonetic patterns and therefore can be challenging for children who are learning to read through phonics. The instruction provided to the learner is straightforward and encouraging, asking them to attempt reading a list of tricky words.

The assessment is time-bound, with a limit of 60 seconds, to gauge the child's fluency and recall abilities. During this time, the teacher observes and makes notes, marking 'n' if the child requires assistance with any of the words. The list of words includes pronouns such as 'we', 'me', 'be', 'he', 'she', 'my', and 'they', as well as verbs like 'was' and 'are', and other common words such as 'you', 'live', 'all', and 'what'. This assessment is a part of the All Aboard Phonics program and aims to support and measure the progress of students as they navigate the complexities of English phonics at Phase 3 level.
