Literacy Pre-Assessment

Description

Developing activities based on assessment data is integral to meeting students’ learning needs. Small group instruction is a great way to practice the skill of using assessment data to drive instruction. Identify a small group (3-5 students).

Part 1: Standards-Based Literacy Assessment

In collaboration chose a grade-appropriate literacy standard for reading comprehension and vocabulary to develop a pre-assessment for and, later, a lesson.

Keeping in mind the group of students and book you selected in Topic 3, complete the following:

• Write a learning objective that is developmentally appropriate for the group of students and aligns to the state standard.

• Design an informal pre-assessment activity that will allow you to assess and document the students’ reading skills.

• Obtain feedback from your mentor on the pre-assessment.

Use any providing instruction and support to the class based on the needs of the pre-assessment.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250 words, summarize the objective and pre-assessment you developed and reflect. Identify a strength of your assessment and an opportunity for growth. How might you change this assessment to better assess the students’ reading skills ? How will your findings inform your future professional practice? Submit your learning objective and pre-assessment with your reflection.

Support your findings with 2-3 scholarly sources.
