What mastery looks like
Cannot yet demonstrate: says a sound for each letter in the alphabet and at least 10 digraphs. reads words consistent with their phonic knowledge by sound-blending. reads aloud simple sentences and books that are consistent with their phonic knowledge, including some common exception words
- No observable behavior matching this goal
Beginning to show says a sound for each letter in the alphabet and at least 10 digraphs. reads words consistent with their phonic knowledge by sound-blending. reads aloud simple sentences and books that are consistent with their phonic knowledge, including some common exception words with adult scaffolding
- Requires significant adult support
Demonstrates says a sound for each letter in the alphabet and at least 10 digraphs. reads words consistent with their phonic knowledge by sound-blending. reads aloud simple sentences and books that are consistent with their phonic knowledge, including some common exception words in supported contexts
- Achieves with prompting
- Inconsistent across settings
Consistently meets goal across contexts — EYFS 'expected' level
- Reliable demonstration without scaffolding
