Progress measures KS1-2 progress measures for 2016 onwards are based on a value added methodology. Pupils are grouped according to their prior attainment at KS1. Their KS2 attainment is compared to the average KS2 attainment for all pupils nationally who are in the same prior attainment group. Pupil progress scores are then averaged to give a figure for the average progress made by pupils within a school. A progress score of zero indicates that the school has made average progress, below zero that they have made less than average progress and above zero that they have made more than average progress. There are separate progress measures in reading, writing and mathematics. Progress measures methodology revised so that the same methodology was used in both the performance tables and the statistical publications. The game covers 30 spelling patterns suitable for children between the ages of 4 and 7 years of age. Externally marked writing tests were statutory in a sample of schools. All other state-funded schools had to administer the writing test to inform their writing teacher assessment but could choose to mark it internally if they wished. Subject levels for English were calculated by combining the reading test mark with the writing teacher assessment. Many of our phonics worksheet PDF files are differentiated to help you tailor your lessons to the needs of the students in your classroom. This means that if you have mixed ability classes, or you find that they are excelling faster than expected, our Twinkl resources are perfect for you!

Being multisensory is also a great way to help your child learn about words. “Anything that’s tactile and engages more than one of your senses at the same time is great for boosting memory and helping kids learn new words.”

Some YouTube channels will show you actions to go along with each letter sound. This is a great activity to do together and supports memory, as well as providing a visual aid.”

Then the children will really start to read! They will learn to recognise the different letters or pairs of letters (graphemes) in a word, say the separate sounds ( phonemes) slowly, then put ( blend) them together. For example, they will be taught that the word ‘boat’ can be separated out ( segmented) into ‘b-oa-t’ which represents the sounds bbb-oh– ttt. They can blend these sounds into the word ‘boat’ Some children learn best when they can get hands-on in the classroom. With this in mind, we have created a brilliant range of interactive classroom phonics that brings learning to life! Using lots of varied or rich language at home is a great starting point for young children. It gives them a wider bank of vocabulary that will help them recognise words when they start learning to read. To see how phonics is worked into CAPS, have a read on our in depth Phonics And The CAPS Curriculum blog. See annex A for more information on the national curriculum and statutory assessments in phonics and key stage 1.

How are phonics lessons for children built into the CAPS curriculum?

Kidadl is independent and to make our service free to you the reader we are supported by advertising. Data for sub-groups of the population are also analysed to inform departmental policies aimed at closing gaps in attainment. ELS is a synthetic phonics programme which some schools use to help children learn to read in Reception and Key Stage 1 (Primary 1 to 3). If you’ve heard the term ELS used by teachers at your child’s school, the chances are they are using ELS to help your little one as they learn to read. The table sets out how points have been allocated to each KS1 TA level (any other results are disregarded). See the primary accountability technical document for details of the points awarded to those pupils with W. Our beautifully illustrated Ng worksheet is a great activity to help build confidence with the ng sound.

A great way to make learning fun, Help a Hedgehog is an exciting, interactive game that parents can get involved in too! Kids have 90 seconds to read and say as many words as they can before the timer runs out. Select a category such as mixed vowel phonemes, or enter your own choice of words for your kids to read out. Press the egg timer to begin, and see how many words they can manage within the time limit. At the end of the game, your kids can view their high scores, which are recorded each and every time they play. Help a Hedgehog is also great for if you have more than one child, is there anything kids love more than competing with each other? If you're looking to improve your children's reading and word pronunciation - then this is the one for you! Binary indicators have been added to the KS1 data to indicate whether pupils have achieved the expected standard in each subject. Used to carry out analysis and self-evaluation, and to aid planning of school improvement strategies. LAs can submit further data (either additional data or amendments to that already submitted) after the initial deadline of the collection until mid-September. The collection is then closed and no further changes can be made.A great game is ‘Musical get changed for PE’. Play the songwhilst the children are getting changed. When you stop the music, the children freeze. You can find lots of audiobook apps in your phone’s app store, or you can borrow free audiobooks from your local library. Schools are no longer required to make statutory TA judgements in English reading and mathematics at KS2. This is to reduce assessment burdens in schools, as set out in the government response to the consultation on Primary assessment in England. Choose a spelling pattern and you will be prompted to spell approximately ten words using that spelling pattern,

GIAS Get Information About Schools is a register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the department. It provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. The information included is provided from the establishments themselves and also from LAs and teams within the department. Why don’t you begin your phonics lesson by watching our lovely video below with your class? This is a great way to introduce the ‘aw’ sound and get the children familiar with the digraph before moving on to the independent activities. Figures for the Isles of Scilly and City of London are suppressed in the KS1 and phonics publication as these LAs have a single school and we do not publish school level information for key stage 1 or phonics. Regional eligible pupil figures are rounded to the nearest 10 so that it is not possible to derive figures for these LAs by summing the figures for the other LAs in the region. Reliability From the moment they are born, your child will benefit from looking at pictures and hearing you talk about them. You could make up your own story or just talk about the pictures that catch their attention.Pupil characteristics are obtained from the school census (and from local authorities for looked-after children). They include disadvantage, eligibility for free school meals, special education needs provision, English as an additional language, and ethnicity. All children must be assessed in their final year of a key stage. Most of the children will be in the year group with similarly aged pupils; for example, most 7-year-old pupils will be in year group 2 at the end of key stage 1. Some children, however, may be older or younger because they are not being taught with their chronological age group. This section provides further detail on the school type which is taken from Get Information About Schools. School type in the statistical publications are shown as at 11 September at the start of the academic year.
