Literacy and numeracy

Assessment resources

These assessments support teachers to know more about students’ literacy and numeracy skills at different stages throughout their schooling. Student responses are mapped to NSW syllabuses and the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions. Feedback from these assessments allow for targeted teaching that meets students’ specific learning needs.

Resources are available to assist NSW public school teachers to access and analyse assessment feedback, inform teaching and learning and communicate with parents and carers about student progress.

• Resources for Best Start Kindergarten, Year 1 Number Screening Check and Year 1 Phonics Screening Check are available via Statewide assessment (staff only).
• Resources for on demand literacy and numeracy assessments are available via at On-demand assessment (staff only).
