PASI

Phonological Awareness Screener

for Intervention

I Have Dibled, Now What?

My Reds are still Red and my Yellows are not

moving in the right direction.

A deeper understanding into those students that

aren’t making benchmark/moving into benchmark.

The PASI is:

An informal diagnostic screener

Administered individually

Untimed

Identifier of a student’s

phonological weakness

It pinpoints where we need to

begin instruction/lesson correlation

with deficit skill

The PASI is not:

an assessment of

fluency, vocabulary or

comprehension skills

for all students

for students that have

benchmarked on Dibels

When and Why Use the

PASI?

When a student has many errors in FSF (First Sound Fluency) and/or

PSF (Phoneme Segmentation Fluency). (Ernesto*, Aiden, Fernando,

Ayden, Adrian, Alexia)

When students are struggling at the sound level. (Dre’an and Kelsey)

We use the PASI to help us identify which Phonemic Awareness skills a

student is struggling with.

It tells us where we need to start instruction with each struggling

student.

each skill

Assessment Forms

Short (2) and Long

Short form (Kinder) determines readiness skills and

corresponding intervention.

Short form (First Grade) determines where to continue

administration along with the Long form which pinpoints

PA skill deficits

Let’s take a look at those forms now!

Kindergarten Forms

Skills 1 and 2 measure readiness (First and last; Beginning, Middle and End; After and Before; Simple words in a sentence(one

must get all of the questions correct to continue, if they don’t the form will instruct you to a skill level to begin instruction.

Kindergarten Form Continued

Skill 3: Substitution of syllables and counting syllables

Skill 4: Onset/Rime segmentation, recognition and production

Skill 5: Word categorization, Segmentation of sounds, Substitution of sounds

Grade 1 Short Form

Skill 4: Onset/Rime segmentation, recognition and production

Skill 3: Substitution of syllables and counting syllables

Skill 5: Word categorization, Segmentation of sounds, Substitution of sounds

must get all of the questions correct to continue, if they don’t the form will instruct you to a skill level to begin instruction.

Form Guidelines to

Remember

must get all of the skill questions correct within each skill to continue to the next skill assessment.

Are We Ready to Try the

PASI?

1. Get the materials ready (Instructions, forms, squares

red and blue, work mat).

2. Identify the students that are strategic and intensive….Don’t let the green

fool you…..dig deep in into the numbers.

3. Provide the students that are not being screened something to work on

(fluency folders, iPads apps).

4. Don’t try to do it perfectly…the script takes time to feel comfortable with.

Be easy on yourself….make sure the student understands what you are

asking her/him. But don't give them the answers….that would skew the

outcome.
