THE STAFFORDSHIRE READING SKILLS GRIDS
STATUTORY ASSESSMENT
CRITERIA
The exact wording of the National Curriculum level
descriptors and the Foundation Stage Profile Points
have been incorporated into these grids. In order that
these statutory elements can be clearly identified, they
have been highlighted in colour (FSP – pink and NC
level descriptors – blue).
NB Reminder - for Statutory End of KS1 Teacher
Assessment, only Level 2 can be divided into sub-levels
– 2C, 2B, 2A.
SELECTING SUITABLE EVIDENCE
For evidence to give a true indication of a child’s
attainment or progress in reading, it needs to have
been produced with a high degree of independence.
In most on-going work teachers will provide
considerable support with particular elements of
reading. This does not mean that on-going classroom
reading (e.g. shared and guided reading) cannot be
used as part of the evidence for a level obtained by a
child, but the degree of teacher support and scaffolding
needs to be taken into account.

Suitable assessment evidence from on-going work may
include:
• Reading records (especially those where
teachers’ comments relate specifically to
teaching objectives and Assessment Focuses –

guided reading, and all curriculum areas, drama
(e.g. role-play, hot-seating, etc)
