Phase 5 Unit 1 Assessment Student Sheet - Grapheme Recognition - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Resource

The Phase 5 Unit 1 Assessment Student Sheet is a resource designed for assessing a child's grapheme recognition skills, which is a fundamental component of Phonics Phase 5, unit 1. This assessment sheet is a straightforward tool used to measure a student's ability to correctly identify the phoneme associated with each presented grapheme. The instruction provided to the learner is simple: the child is asked to articulate the phoneme that corresponds to each grapheme listed on the sheet.

The assessment procedure includes a list of graphemes such as 'ay', 'ou', 'ie', 'ea', 'oy', 'ir', and several others, including combinations with vowels and consonants, and those with silent or altered sounds like 'wh', 'ph', 'ew', 'oe', and various split digraphs like 'i_e', 'o_e', 'a_e', 'u_e', and 'e_e'. It's important for the assessor to monitor the child's performance, marking a 'yes' or 'no' for each response to indicate whether the child recognized the phoneme correctly. The assessor is advised to stop the activity if the child is finding it particularly difficult or once 60 seconds have passed. This quick and efficient method ensures that the child's phonemic awareness is assessed without causing undue stress or discomfort.
