What is the Reading Assessment Programme?

Simple to use

FFT's Reading Assessment Programme is a simple and effective online assessment tool designed to assess pupils on their GPC Accuracy, Decoding Accuracy and Fluency Levels (Words Correct Per Minute).

Words Correct Per Minute outcomes inform Standardised Scores, Reading Attainment Levels and Reading Fluency Ages for Year 1 to Year 6 pupils. For Reception pupils, Standardised Scores and Reading Attainment Levels are provided based on Decoding outcomes.

Fast

Assessments align with the most recent teaching block of GPCs and Common Exception Words for Reception and Year 1 pupils across a range of phonics programmes. Year 2 assessments focus on trickier GPCs with Spelling List words and Tier 2 vocabulary being a focus from Years 3 to 6.

Instantly produced reports allow schools to analyse data at whole school, class, group or individual pupil level. Informs next steps, whether through whole-class teaching or keep-up/catch-up intervention.

    What schools are saying

    Identifies areas we need to focus on

    FFT’s Reading Assessment Programme (RAP) is easy to use and provides detailed data. High-quality training is available to support staff with carrying out and analysing the data. FFT’s RAP has enabled us to identify the areas we need to focus on, adapt our teaching in our review sessions and consolidation weeks. It also enables us to plan relevant interventions to support those children who are falling behind.

    Saved huge amounts of time

    Using the phonics scheme and FFT’s Reading Assessment Programme, has saved huge amounts of time when completing assessments and it is easy to analyse data and identify gaps in children’s knowledge to inform next steps. At the end of each block, when there are consolidation lessons, this has been hugely beneficial to complete the assessments and give detailed feedback to the teachers informing them of gaps, misconceptions and to focus on these.

    Quick and efficient

    It's online and very intuitive to use, the Reading Assessment Programme (RAP) provides a quicker, more efficient system compared to having a paper based system. We can now constantly review our phonics groups, allowing for fluidity across the groups. I have no doubt this facilitates children's rapid progress. We look forward to seeing how RAP continues to develop to support staff and children in grouping children effectively.
