What assessment should I do for a Year 1 child who is not on track?

Summative assessments – to be used every six weeks of the teaching cycle

Use these one-to-one assessments to keep track of pupils’ progress, inform next steps for teaching and identify pupils for Daily Keep-up. They should be carried out by the Reading Leader or class teacher.

Remember to always teach from the point of security.
