Nonsense Word Screening Tool & Student Sheet and Marking Sheet
This Nonsense Word Screening Tool allows teachers to gauge the effectiveness of a student's grasp on phonics principles and their ability to apply these skills independently. Nonsense words act as a litmus test, revealing whether students are truly decoding words or relying on visual memorisation, providing valuable insights into their reading proficiency and areas for improvement.
