ARI Free Resources
The ARI decodable stories provide abundant exposure to a controlled selection of sound-letter correspondences, enabling decoding to become automatic, and fluent, confident readers to flourish (see full range of books in our online shop).
​
The resources below should help you to get the most out of the programme.
Initial and Mastery Assessments and Graph
The Assessments are simple and quick-to-administer, providing essential indicators of reading progress and demonstrating whether what has been taught has actually been learned. As well as indicating the optimum starting-point for any child who is not a complete beginner. The accompanying graph provides an instant visual record of progress.
​
The Assessments will:
-
Indicate the optimum starting point for each student
-
Provide the baseline for comparing before/after progress once a student has completed Mastery Assessment
-
Demonstrate concrete evidence of progress to a student lacking in confidence if the Initial Assessment is re-administered following completion of a Level and its Mastery Assessment
