Looking for a quick and simple one-page pre-assessment to use at the beginning of the year? This is a pre-assessment form designed for the incoming 1st Grade students to show you where all your students are for planning purposes. It covers a variety of math, phonics, and writing skills. It covers these skills: •Blending (CVC Words, Long Vowels) •Simple Sentence Fluency •Number Recognition to 30 •Writing a Sentence •Counts to ___ •Number of Sight Words How I use it in my classroom: During the first week of school, I pull my students aside to do one-on-one assessment and a little getting to know you. I ask them questions about themselves, then alternate those questions with these ones. It helps them feel comfortable with me and gives me important data to use when moving forward. I do not use this as a grade, but just as a tool to help my yearly planning. For the numbers portion, I suggest that you use flashcards shuffled so it is out of order. Need Kindergarten?
