Quickly Diagnose and Group Students with the Phonics Screener for Intervention
The First Step is Assessing
The Phonics Screener for Intervention (PSI) is a brief and easy-to-administer informal diagnostic assessment
designed to pinpoint the specific decoding needs of students who have poor reading accuracy. It’s used to
determine where to begin each student’s intervention, to group students with similar needs, and to determine
when to move students out of one skill into another. Information from the PSI eliminates guessing and leads
directly to placement in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 group for focused intervention instruction.
The PSI is a valuable tool to place students in
proper skill groups:
• Identify mastered and deficit skills in 15 phonics
areas plus sight words
• Assess in 5–10 minutes with Form A
• Place student in initial group
• M
onitor progress in 1–2 minutes with alternate
Form B or C
• Exit student from group and regroup for next skill
• Assess pre- and post-instruction for accountability
The PSI, which is offered as a school site license, is
cost effective. The site license enables all educators in
a school to use a common diagnostic tool for years to
come without additional cost for consumable forms.

The screeners are teacher-friendly, easy to give, and even more
important . . . easy to interpret! The PSI is a valuable tool that
provides more data on a student than DIBELS® and allows easy
placement in appropriate intervention groups. Our teachers
believe this assessment truly gives them an accurate look at
each child’s phonics skills.
