Description

What is this resource?
This assessment was developed to align with reading and math foundational skills, along with Kindergarten Common Core Standards.

It was designed to give teachers and families a peek at their students’ starting point and progress throughout the school year.

This assessment should be given at the beginning of the school year as a benchmark, and then at the end of each term to monitor and show progress.

There are some skills that can be assessed as a whole group, and others that must be assessed one-on-one. It is my advice to spend a few days working through this assessment, taking it a few sections at a time. This will help prevent assessment fatigue and allow students to show their skills most accurately.

A Student Report is included to condense assessment information and provide data that can easily be distributed to parents and other teachers.

What is included?

• 10-page assessment guide
• 11-page skill-based assessment
• 3-page student report
