Primary Phonemic Awareness Assessments

The primary assessments can be used to measure and monitor growth in phonemic awareness for students in first grade. These assessments can also be used for students in second grade or above to determine if phonemic awareness should be included as part of a reading intervention plan.

Students who struggle to decode words in print or who struggle to encode words when writing may benefit from explicit phonemic awareness instruction. The skills included in this assessment are aligned to the Primary level of the Phonemic Awareness curriculum.
