3 A Tut s Guide to What is a Reading Check? Reading Check is how you monit the student s progress in reading. It checks: Accuracy Fluency Vocabulary Comprehension skills. Who carries it out? The person suppting the student carries out the Reading Check exercise with the student at regular intervals throughout the programme. When does it happen? Usually this is after the student has covered 4 pages of Units of Sound (UofS) Reading on the computer. There should be at least 24 hours between covering a page on the computer and the Reading Check. What is in the Reading Check Resources? There are 12 sets of Reading Check resources in each stage Each set has 2 sheets f the tut and 2 f the student The student sheets can be reused The tut sheets fm a recd and so you need a set per student What is in a Reading Check Set? Student Blocks sheet: Covers a selection of wds and sounds from 46 pages Tut Blocks moniting sheet: Cresponds to the student Blocks sheet Read it Student sheet: Covers the A page passage Tut Read it moniting sheet: Cresponds to the student Read it sheet, with passage and comprehension questions. At the end of this sheet there is an Action section, indicating what the tut should do if the student shows a lack of accuracy in the reading. How is a Reading Check carried out? Print the 2 Tut moniting sheets of the appropriate set Blocks and Read it. Or, print the whole stage when you start wking with the student.

4 A Tut s Guide to How do I know what action to take? The Reading Check, as set out here, is designed f staff in busy classrooms wking with groups of students at a time. When you hear students reading you will know if they are struggling, sounding out wds. UofS is designed to keep students at a level where they are wking comftably not where they find it hard. Trust your instincts you will know when students need me repetition, and when they don t. Actions you can take Continue If a student completes the Reading Check comftably then he will continue onto the next pages as set. 2. Reset If a student has had difficulty decoding any of the blocks then the UofS page can be reset on the program. If you have time You can use the UofS books and ask the student to read out the pages that were causing problems, including sentences and passages. This will give you a fuller idea of how well the student is decoding. You could ask followup questions on vocabulary, structure and patterns. 3. Review If the student is making me than a few errs and is finding it hard to read fluently, then you can consider redoing the Reading Placement to check the student is wking at the right level. Using Sheets & Sets There are always 2 sheets per set f the tut and 2 sheets f the student. Each Units of Sound stage has 12 sets. You will start with the Blocks sheet, then follow with Read it sheet (the only exception to this is Sets 1&2 which only have Blocks sheets). Blocks Blocks Read it 2. Read it Tut Set Student Set ii

25 10 40A The Sail s Sty I was just a boy when the great Spanish Armada came. I helped with the guns on our ship, bringing powder when fighting started. I ve seen a lot of fighting since then but I remember that first day best. The great tall ships of the Spanish lay there ahead of us. They were watching a few English ships sailing beyond them, so they didn t see us at first. Errs When we got closer they suddenly saw us. Their ships were full of soldiers in suits of armour, with helmets and great long pikes. They looked a grand sight, and they frightened me, I must admit. Then, as we went past them, they started to shoot. Our gunners cheered, because the enemy shots just splashed into the sea. Their guns were too small and weak to hit us hard. We carried on across the Spanish rear to reach their left wing. The ships here were stuck out on their own. The wind was against any others who might have wanted to help them. Then we ran out our heavy guns. We cheered Queen Elizabeth as we opened fire, but we gave blessings to old King Harry. He was the man who had dered these ships to be made. Our guns roared out together and taught the Spanish what real guns were. They couldn t touch us, but by heaven they were brave. I ve never seen braver men.

They did this by hand with pen and with paint brush. In China, at the same time, they could print books by using woodcut blocks. Long befe the birth of Christ the Chinese had traderoutes to Tibet and India. Then f hundreds of years China and her rulers had little contact with the rest of the wld.
