The Sandwell Early Numeracy Test - Revised (SENT-R) enables<br />
practitioners to assess children’s ability with numbers, through exploring<br />
five strands of basic number skills: identification; oral counting; value;<br />
object counting and language.<br />
SENT-R provides a baseline of a pupil’s number skills and can be<br />
particularly useful in helping identify targets for pupils with Special<br />
Educational Needs. The test is appropriate for pupils between 4-8 years<br />
and can also be used with older pupils whose performance is well<br />
below average for their age group. It covers attainments from National<br />
Curriculum Level P6 to 2A.<br />
Online Marking Tool<br />
SENT-R is accompanied by an Online Marketing Tool (OMT).<br />
Practitioners enter the score obtained by the pupil for each of the<br />
five strands of the test and the tool then generates the following<br />
five reports:<br />
• Student Listing – this report lists the results for each pupil<br />
(including Raw Score, Standard Age Score (SAS), stanine,<br />
national percentile rank, group rank and estimated National<br />
Curriculum Maths overall level)<br />
• Group Demographic Comparison – this table shows raw score<br />
and SAS means and standard deviations for each group of<br />
students<br />
• Comparison of group and national stanine distributions – the bar<br />
chart shows the percentage of students that fall within certain<br />
ranges of scores<br />
• Analysis by Strands – the bar chart shows which percentage of<br />
pupils that fall within different National Curriculum Maths levels<br />
for each strand<br />
• Analysis by Age Equivalent Band – this table shows the<br />
percentage of pupils by age equivalent bands<br />
Designed to be administered on a<br />
one-to-one basis, SENT-R<br />
comprises a total of 68 questions<br />
across nine different National<br />
Curriculum levels. There are 2<br />
versions of the test - Form A and<br />
Form B - with one version to be<br />
done at re-test stage. The test<br />
can be used at any time during<br />
the school year to assess<br />
individuals or groups of pupils.<br />
Why use SENT-R?<br />
• SENT-R has been designed to<br />
identify a pupil’s specific number<br />
skills, to help inform targeted<br />
teaching strategies<br />
• It can be used to monitor the<br />
impact of teaching interventions<br />
on rate of progress<br />
• The test will enable you to group<br />
children with similar levels of<br />
attainment to facilitate teaching<br />
• Levelling between National<br />
Curriculum levels P6 through to<br />
2A is enabled<br />
• The images in the test book and<br />
other stimulus materials are<br />
engaging and relate the tasks to<br />
recognisable everyday activities<br />
