Ideal For

Year 1 reading fluency assessment, individual reading observations, repeated-reading practice, targeted support, progress monitoring, small-group planning and teacher handovers.

The forms can be used flexibly alongside suitable school-selected decodable or familiar texts. Teachers can select the pages most relevant to each pupil rather than completing the entire pack every time.

Files Included

• Editable 14-page Word document (.docx)
• Matching 14-page A4 portrait PDF (.pdf) for printing

The PDF is a copy of the Word resource. Both versions contain the same assessment forms, teacher guidance, worked example and progress records.

Please note: Reading passages are not included. This is an observational assessment and progress-monitoring resource, not a standardised or diagnostic reading test. It does not provide fixed fluency benchmarks or pass/fail thresholds.
