CONCEPT Reading Writing A tool to retrieve data on pupils’ English language literacy level The screening does NOT carry high stakes – Try your very best! Data should be used to help teachers identify literacy issues and the instrument format should not be used to teach or train the pupils. Two instruments Reading Writing Administered by the English language teacher In the classroom / Suitable environment During lessons / suitable time Teachers MUST refer to the manual when administering the reading instrument and when marking the writing instrument.

Reading 12 constructs One-on-one / face-to-face Individual or small groups (not more than 3) Oral responses Administered within the time frame given Pupils can repeat the constructs maximum twice. With guidance

Possible guidance (FOR Linus students) Construct 2 -Teachers are allowed to translate. -Be 100% sure about the instructions given. Teacher can read and explain the instructions to the students. -Practise using the example given. -Flexibility to use other words with the same phoneme during screening. -Teacher knows if the pupils really recognise the phonemes/sounds. -Teacher can use the Jolly Phonics/ KSSR or any other actions associated to the sounds to guide the pupils.

continuation Construct 5 Not necessarily ‘reading aloud’. We can guide through blending of the phonemes. Teacher can go through all the words with the pupils. Or Pupils can point to the correct answer and teacher guides them to read the word. Teacher cannot hint through tone of voice or facial expressions the correct answer.

Construct 9 -focuses on the common sight words & unfamiliar words. -Skip unfamiliar words if they have not been taught -Not all the words used in the instrument are from the KSSR word list. -Allowed one error in each sentence -Teachers are NOT allowed the read and students repeat after the teacher. -Assess pupils’ reading ability (check the manual) -NOT supposed to pre-teach the constructs before the screening

Construct 10 -Teacher can read the sentences. -If the pupils can’t read,we don’t penalise them. -Don’t penalise the pupils if they are afraid (esp. Year 1 & 2) -Teacher can guide the pupils with unfamiliar words. Give them a chance to try and read the sentences. -Teacher may not necessarily assess the pupils according to the order of the questions in a construct. -Teacher can also explain the pictures given first before asking the pupils to choose the correct answers.

Construct 11 1) One-word answers are acceptable. 2) ’Yes’ or ‘No’ responses may be accepted depending on the contexts but pupils should always be guided to respond appropriately based on the questions asked.

Construct 12 Teacher can read the words first. Pupils can then point to the words/phrases to form correct sentences without having to read them aloud.

Writing 12 constructs Written work Administered during lessons With minimal guidance

Construct 2 Teacher can articulate the phonemes given. Teacher can give examples of different words associated to the phonemes. Construct 5 -Teacher can read the options given. -Teacher should not read the options according to the order of the answers. -Teacher can ask the pupils to check their spelling.

Construct 9 The first capital must be capitalised. There must be a full-stop at the end of the sentence. Teacher can ask the pupils to check their spelling and punctuation. Construct 10 Teacher can read the sentences given. Teacher should not read the options according to the order of the answers. If the pupils are not focused, the remaining constructs can be completed in the next session.

Writing – Suggested time period OPTION SESSION CONSTRUCTS SUGGESTED TIME 1 1 – 4 30 mins 2 5 – 8 3 9 – 12 1 – 6 60 mins 7 – 12

Key reminders Teacher has to ensure there is no copying for writing. Writing screening needs to be as a whole-class activity. Allowed to do the screening with non-LINUS pupils first, then focus on LINUS students in the class (For reading and writing). NOT required to stick religiously to the SUGGESTED model in the manual. e.g.: You may need more time with LINUS pupils but the non-LINUS pupils can complete the screening within a short period of time.

Key reminders Always ensure classroom is under control. Non-LINUS can be given some other tasks while teachers attend to LINUS pupils during screening. Other teachers can be roped in to help with the administration of screening. Screening should not be conducted in the form of an examination/test. Pupils should be relaxed and treat the screening just like any other exercises. Screening should be conducted during classroom contact hours whenever possible. However, due to time constraint in some schools, READING screening can be done outside classroom contact hours by the class teacher.

Key reminders -P&P should be conducted in every lesson BUT teacher has the flexibility to decide time allocated for P&P and screening. -For lesson planning purpose, include under ‘IMPAK/REFLEKSI’: e.g.: Reading screening is conducted on five students. -Plan the administration of the screening accordingly so that both reading and writing screening can be completed within the stipulated time frame. (Busy teachers/ absenteeism/class size)

Manual am, Manual pentadbiran instrumen Must be read and used as a reference before and when administering the screening instruments Contents: Manual Am: policy, constructs, dates, etc. Manual Pentadbiran Instrumen: administration methods, suggested answers, scoring guide

reminders Ensure the names of the pupils are written clearly. Ensure all writing instruments have been marked and signed by the school administrators. Ensure all instruments are marked using red ink. Ensure the instruments are kept safely by the school authorities.

Borang Pelaporan Penguasaan Individu Filled during / after screening instruments are administered Use ball pens (NO pencils allowed) Scores should be given fairly and with integrity Scores should be keyed into NKRA portal within the given time frame. Scores in the portal need to tally with the BPPI scores/instruments.
