In episode #49 I share the knowledge and the tools to begin the identification and prevention of decoding fluency difficulties…..
There are many quality assessment tools out there that are aligned to the Science of reading but even with those, which ones do you choose and how do you know which assessment is the right one for your students?
The simple answer is to have a basic understanding of where the problem lies because from there you can use further assessments to dig down to the root of underlying deficits.
Today I want to share with you a basic snapshot diagnostic assessment so you can quickly identify where the gaps are and determine the best way to remediate the problem. I’ve provided the TLC Phonics assessment, for FREE for you today. I recommend using this quick check to see what phonics learning has been retained and what areas need further investigation. It’s also very useful for obtaining a quick snapshot of a new student’s phonic knowledge. This data can also be used to group students with similar gaps and provide Tier 2 intervention in class.
Join me as I unpack the 6 components of the assessment.

As I am listening to the podcast on my phone, walking my dog, I hear Camilla say to download the freebie to follow along.
I wish it were simpler!
I wish it were right there.
I already subscribe so I don’t need to re- subscribe to get the freebie- right??It says freebie below but actually it’s “how to subscribe” below.
Disappointed, because I want to do what she said, follow along and listen.
If there’s something I’m missing, let me know. I’ll check back later. -

We have just started to use your assessment cards and feel that they will be excellent to gather meaningful data our school. We like the levels, the ease of administration and the way you can really see how the student can use the target phonemes – whether at individual level, word or in a sentence. We were wondering if there is a proforma for tracking class data, or how other school have used the assessment to track whole school data.

Hi Jennifer, thank you for your feedback. We don’t have a pro forma for tracking class data. Possibly something we could look at doing in the future though. I’m chatting with teachers all the time, I’ll pass on your questions to see if they are using these assessments to track class and whole school data. Kind regards Karyn
