Phonological Awareness Screener for Intervention™ (PASI™), Version 3.1

The new PASI is aligned to our Phonological Awareness Continuum and the Blueprint for Intervention:® Phonological Awareness (PA Blueprint) Teacher's Guide. 95 Percent Group released our advanced continuum of PA skills approximately a year ago when the PA Blueprint was published. This update to the PASI aligns our diagnostic screener perfectly with the instructional materials, making it easier for teachers to go directly from assessment to groups to instruction.

Teachers use a ten-minute short form initially to determine which skills students have mastered and then drill down within the readiness, syllable, onset-rime, or phoneme skills to determine which lesson to begin instruction.

The PASI 3.1 includes three long forms for progress monitoring (Forms A, B, and C). The assessment will point teachers to the exact PA Blueprint skill to use during the student’s intervention time. For example, if a student fails to pass Skill 3.7: Segmentation/Blending 2 Syllables in the PASI 3.1, the teacher should use that same skill in PA Blueprint for intervention instruction.
