PACIFIC PARADISE STATE SCHOOL

Literacy, Numeracy, KLA Assessment - Tools, Standards and Targets

This document is a record of our assessment for learning and results of these tests should not be used for A-E report card ratings. If students attain these minimum standards they then should have success engaging with the National Curriculum Standards or C2C on which their A-E ratings are assigned.

The knowledge of where our students sit academically will enable teachers to plan and implement differentiated learning experiences for every child. This will allow all students to be challenged, reach their potential and experience success.

The North Coast Region expectation would be that 85% of students reach each Year Level Benchmark. Further Stretch Targets should be developed from these minimum standards to increase the number of students in the Upper 2 Bands.

First Steps Reading Phase

Role Play / Experimental / Early / Transitional / Proficient / Accomplished
Descriptor / Role Play readers show an interest in books and the print they see around them. They imitate the things they see adult readers doing such as holding the book carefully, turning the pages and using computer icons. They often pretend to read by using the pictures and their memory to retell stories. / In this phase, readers use memory of familiar, predictable texts and their developing sound symbol knowledge to match some spoken words with written words. Experimental readers are focused on understanding and conveying the meaning of these texts rather than reading all words accurately. They read and comprehend texts with repetitive, limited and known vocabulary and supportive illustrations. / Early readers recognise a bank of frequently used words and use a small range of strategies to comprehend texts. These include short literary texts and structured informational texts that have familiar vocabulary and are supported by illustrations. Reading of unfamiliar texts is often slow and deliberate as they focus on reading exactly what is on the page, using sounding out as a primary word-identification strategy. / In this phase readers are beginning to integrate strategies to identify unknown words and to comprehend text. These strategies, combined with an increasing bank of sight words, enable readers to read texts such as novels, newspapers and websites with familiar content, fluently and with expression. Transitional readers reflect on strategies used and are beginning to discuss their effectiveness. / Proficient readers have developed a multi-strategy approach to identify unknown words and comprehend demanding texts such as subject-specific textbooks, novels and essays. They are able to select strategies appropriate to the purpose and complexity of the text. Readers have a greater ability to connect topic, grammatical, cultural/world and text-structure knowledge with what is new in the text. Proficient readers identify the target audience of a text. They draw on evidence from their own experience to challenge or question the text. / Accomplished readers use a flexible repertoire of strategies and cues to comprehend texts and to solve problems with unfamiliar structure and vocabulary. They are able to fluently read complex and abstract texts such as journal articles, novels and research reports. Accomplished readers access the layers of information and meaning in a text according to their reading purpose. They interrogate, synthesise and evaluate multiple texts to revise and refine their understandings.
