Also in the Teacher's Guide is the Heinle Phonics and Intervention Kit assessment system.

Nine Master Progress Checks test student achievement at regular intervals through the curriculum.Complete teacher scripts are provided for the tests. These determine student proficiency and readiness to move to the next lesson.

The Placement Assessment determines eligibility and placement point in the intervention component.

There are two entry points in the Heinle Phonics and Intervention Kit, at Lesson 1 or at lesson 39, based on the students' scores.
