Running Record Assessments for Book Bands KS1 and Class Tracker
This is a great resource that I have used for years. I use it to check that children are on the correct book band. These books are from reading schemes such as Bug Club and Collins Big Cat. They do have the old national curriculum levels on them but book bands have not changed since the change of curriculum so still relevant now.
I then track my children on a book band tracker which I have attached to this bundle too.

I have created this intervention for KS1 classes for a group intervention. This is designed for children who have gaps in Phase 3 spelling skills. Look out for my Phase 5 version too!

I suggest doing a phase 3 spelling test and then picking the plans suited to the group to tailor the intervention.
