Support and Assessment

Collins Big Cat free APP resources bring all the information you need
for reading assessment together, saving you time and money. 
 
Collect evidence & Make judgements 
 
Use our Running Record sheets to gather evidence and analyse children’s average rate of miscue when reading. Collins Big Cat includes two Running Record sheets to monitor progression effectively. 
 

 
 
Our Assessment Examples demonstrate answers at two different levels, helping you to fully understand where a child is and where they need to be to succeed. Use the ‘Ideas for guided reading’ page in the back of the book alongside the Assessment Examples sheet to support your judgements.
 
Ensure progression
 
Use the evidence you have gathered from the running record sheet and the judgements made with the help of the Assessment Examples to determine skills that need practice. The Matching Chart will allow you to easily identify the next appropriate book by NC level, learning objective or Assessment Focus.
