Year 1 Common Exception Words Assessment Toolkit

A comprehensive Year 1 Common Exception Words assessment and intervention toolkit designed to support the full assess–plan–intervene–monitor–reassess cycle.

Rather than a single assessment or worksheet pack, this resource brings together reading and spelling assessment, analysis, targeted intervention planning, progress monitoring and reassessment tools in one organised toolkit.

The resource includes reading assessment sets, spelling assessment and reassessment materials, reading and spelling comparison records, class overview and analysis tools, priority teaching records, word grouping for intervention, small-group and individual intervention plans, intervention session records, sentence application and independent writing checks, optional home practice recording, six-week progress monitoring, short reassessment, before-and-after comparison, teacher professional judgement notes, a quick word check/master record, and answers and marking guidance.

Teachers can use the toolkit to identify specific gaps, select priority words or patterns, plan targeted support, record pupil responses and observations, monitor progress over time and review next teaching steps.
