This phonological awareness diagnostic tool is a great way to get an overall picture of how your students are tracking with their phonemic and phonological awareness. The skills that are included in this diagnostic tool include:

• rhyme recognition
• rhyme production
• word awareness
• syllable awareness
• initial sound identification and production
• final sound identification
• sound segmentation
• sound blending
• medial sound identification.

There is also a basic letter/sound knowledge and awareness checklist – whilst not a phonological awareness skill – it’s also crucial to gain an understanding of where your students are with this knowledge.

Please note: This has been created to be used as a guide for teachers. It is advised to check what programs or other testing your school wishes for you to complete with your students.
