Elementary School Reading Assessment

This resource was created in order to help Speech Language Pathologists target initial phonemes at the word level. This resource includes a total of 40 pictured initial /h/ CV and CVC words to use the h-insertion trick during speech therapy sessions.

The h-insertion trick can be an extremely helpful strategy to use when children are stuck at the isolation level of a sound. By producing /h/ after the initial sound, the child continues their air flow, making it easier to produce the following vowel. This helps them to eliminate the prior habit of producing the incorrect sound.

*Can be paired with all initial sounds!*

If you haven't tried /h/-insertion, download this FREEBIE and see it work it's magic!

Included in this resource:

• 40 CV + CVC Initial-H Word Task Cards/Visuals
• 1-page complete wordlist for each initial sound
• Consonant letter cards for visual cues

H-Insertion can help target the following:

• Phonological Processes: prevocalic voicing, gliding, backing, fronting, stopping, deaffrication, labialization, denasalization, excessive nasal emissions, initial consonant deletion
• Motor planning and sound transitions for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech
• Sound production for children with Dysarthria or weak articulatory musculature
• Myofunctional disorders including frontal lisp, lateral lisp, limited lip rounding
• Articulation disorders to target initial /b/, initial /k/, initial /d/, initial /f/, initial /g/, initial "j", initial /l/, initial /m/, initial /n/, initial /p/, initial /r/, initial /s/, initial /t/, initial /v/, initial /w/, initial "y", initial /z/

Used in Mixed Groups!

Vocabulary: State meaning of words, along with synonyms and antonyms.

Wh- questions: Ask who, what, where, when, why questions about each word.

Sentence production: Elicit full sentences containing each elicited word.

** Perfect resource for Speech Therapy Observation**

These NO PREP, easy to read decoding cards are ideal for the K-2 classroom in French immersion, Core French, or Modern Language setting. Aligns perfectly with the Science of Reading and can supplement any reading program.

These cards are great for making a quick learning centre, a great way to check reading fluency on the fly, or to do a deep dive with those that need the one-on-one attention.

What to do:

I make 4 copies of a few cards for centre activities, a few sets for a clear folder binder for ‘shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee partner reading, and a set of cards for a quick quiet reading session if we are getting too silly in class.

Science of Reading:

These cards aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple texts to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

Texts are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Are you tired of writing goals and then having to scramble to come up with a way to monitor them?

Would you like to be confident in knowing you will always have a way to collect the data you need for specific skills being taught?

Would you like to write goals that are more specific to the student's needs rather than using whatever assessment program is being used by the district?

I created this user-friendly editable progress monitoring document to meet the diverse needs of teachers who need to be able to assess different students on different skills based on the student's needs and/or goals!

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE GOOGLE SHEETS™ WORKBOOK:

• A MASTER LIST sheet to enter the words you would like to assess.
• Thirty assessor probes with checkboxes. Probes auto calculate raw score and percent as well as displaying the student goal so it is always at the forefront! Missed words copy to the error box on each probe!
• Thirty matching student probes to print right from the workbook!
• A data sheet displaying date, raw score, percent correct, and missed words!
• Two graphs (raw score and percent correct) with baselines generated from the students initial score and goal!

HOW TO PREPARE THE ASSESSMENT:

• Simply enter the items to be assessed on the MASTER LIST tab. 
• Fill 80 boxes for each word to appear on each probe. This is great for monitoring specific words.
• Enter up to 500 words (100 in each column) to measure a skill. Words will be randomly selected to appear on the probes. Not every word will be on every probe.
• Words will never appear more than once on a probe!
• Lock the words using the LOCK button!
• Print the probes right from the Google Sheets™ Workbook!

HOW TO ADMINISTER THE ASSESSMENT:

• Enter the student name and goal on the data sheet. 
• Check each incorrect word as the student reads.
• Enter the total number of words attempted.
• Total words read and percent correct will be calculated and graphed!
• Enter the student initial scores (raw and percent) and goal scores on the data sheet to create graphs with a baseline!
• Missed words are copied to the error box, data sheet, and targeted word cards!

PRINT WORD CARDS:

• After assessing, missed words will be copied to the word cards.
• Click the arrow link to jump to the word cards for a specific probe.
• Word cards can be printed with normal scale and normal margins.

This tool is intended for personal use. You may create as many copies of the workbook as you need to monitor the students in your class or on your caseload. This tool may not be used for commercial purposes.

⭐ Complete directions are included within the workbook as well as in the preview video.

This is a novel study of C.S. Lewis’s Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. In this product, there are completed lesson plans (and a blank one if you need to write your own), a slideshow that includes everything for each chapter (introduction, review of content, copy of the doodle notes, copy of the end of chapter activity/discussion outline, and the closure question), the Doodle Notes outline for each chapter, and the End of Chapter/Discussion activities. This novel study is for 4th-grade to 7th-grade students.

Lesson Plans

Each chapter comes with a completed lesson plan! The lesson plans include an I can statement (Chapter Goal), the materials needed, what students will be doing as a preview to the chapter, what they will be doing during the read, the activity after the chapter, some differentiation ideas, the assessment, and a closure. There is a spot for standards, but I did not include one because of different state standards. They are also all editable! It was made using Google Slides, so that will be the best place to edit the lesson plans.

Doodle Notes/End of Chapter Activities & Discussions

Each chapter comes with doodle notes and an End of Chapter/Discussion Activity. Doodle notes are notes students take that involve more drawing than writing. Students will have a prompt to help them know what to focus on while listening/reading the chapter and what to take notes on. The activities focus on multiple different skills, Central Idea, Supporting Details, Problem/Solution, Cause/Effect, Summaries, Story Elements, Inferences, and more. There are also 8 discussion activities where students will need to work in groups discussing a prompt about the chapter.

Slideshow

To go along with the book, there is a Slideshow that includes an outline for each chapter! It includes what is written in the lesson plans. So there are introduction slides for each chapter, a copy of the doodle notes and chapter activities, and a slide for the closure. The slides are also editable!So if you would like to add/adapt anything to fit your class/lesson better, just open the file in Canva or PowerPoint. I also made a Google Slides File that is easier to edit on Google Slides, however, you cannot edit as much. ***There is a slide that you will need to edit. It is the “Discussion Expectations” slide. This is because each class will have different expectations for discussions.**

Thank you for your support! I hope you enjoy it.

Please rate and review.

I was getting frustrated trying to find texts to support my biodiversity unit, and was finding my students could truly only find pertinent, engaging information by researching. What I had at my disposition was outdated; or didn't particularly touch on diversity, or was overly focused on specific species of animals... It simply wasn't cutting it. I wanted to teach with a cross-curricular approach and integrate biodiversity-themed readings in with my language arts program. Ta-Da!

These texts can also be used as mentor texts when teaching your informative or research report unit; and they can also be used as guided readings with small groups, or as a whole group choral reading. No more finding enough copies of books for your crew: simply print and go.

This 40-page resource is the biodiversity informative text holy grail and contains 13 different texts for students to explore and discover topics relating to diversity. The vocabulary is perfectly at the level of my 5th and 6th graders, and many texts come accompanied by diagrams, text boxes, images and fun details to keep them engaged and interested in the material. Each of them come with ample comprehension questions (multiple choice, true or false, short answer, long answer - and questions with varying levels of complexity) as well as a thorough and detailed answer key providing you with easy assessment.

You'll find the following titles in this crypt of reading comprehensions:

1. Les mammifères (1) - Slightly simpler terms, vocabulary and questions
2. Les mammifères (2) - Slightly more complex terms, vocabulary and questions
3. Les reptiles (1) - Slightly simpler terms, vocabulary and questions
4. Les reptiles (2) - Slightly more complex terms, vocabulary and questions
5. La migration
6. Les arbres
7. L'hibernation: Une stratégie de survie
8. La grande barrière de corail
9. Les fossiles: Un aperçu du passé
10. Les champignons
11. La fascinante vie des oiseaux
12. Les amphibiens
13. Les poissons

I work hard to create documents that simply work for me in my classroom, and I hope they serve the same purpose for you in yours.

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!
