Heggerty Assessment Companion

About this resource

A phonemic awareness record for use with the Heggerty program, or any phonemic awareness routine you teach: names down the side, a column for each skill, a page for each week. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Heggerty. This file has no Heggerty lessons, no lesson text and no word lists. You type your own item words and counts.

EVERYTHING INSIDE — 22 pages

How to use it in three steps: (1) type your item words on page 5; (2) give your checks and type the number right in the class record each week; (3) print a profile for any child you want to look at closely, check again, and send a note home.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into it or print it and write by hand. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT a Google Sheets file, a Google Doc or an Excel workbook, and it does not add up scores or copy numbers from one page to the next. You cannot drag the boxes around or restyle the pages.

There are no lessons, item lists, cutoffs, benchmarks or grade-level norms in it. The words are yours. What a score means, which children get which help and what happens next are your school's rules, and the next-step lines are left blank for your words. No health information is filled in. The example child is invented and says so on the page. The cutting is the 9 word cards, the 6 sound-box strips and the 6 binder tabs, each in one block with straight cuts.
