Records of Reading Behaviours are taken regularly in the early years of learning to read. These records are used to monitor progress and to determine each student’s learning level. A learning level is one where the student meets new learning challenges without being frustrated by a text that is too difficult. Teachers can select appropriate texts that are matched to each student’s learning level.

The AlphakidsPlus ‘Records of Reading Behaviours’ are available for Levels 1-11 and provide:

• Two text transcripts at each reading level – a narrative and an informative text
• Literal, interpretive and critical comprehension questions that relate to the student’s understanding of the text
• Guidelines for taking a record of each student’s oral reading
• Analysis of a student’s retelling of a text.

• phonemic awareness and the relationship between sounds and letters
• building up word banks of key vocabulary
