Guttman charts and Year 1 Phonics Check data

Overview

Once you have completed the Year 1 Phonics Check with your students, you can generate a visual representation of your data known as a Guttman chart. This can support you to analyse your data and plan next steps for instruction.

Your Guttman chart is best used in conjunction with the Literacy Hub’s Word and code complexity continuum (WCCC) tools. These tools (linked below) can be used for analysing either group or individual results.
