Reading Assessments
Last week in my 4th grade class we started off by doing some grading on papers where students used context clues to figure out what words meant. It was very subjective, so it was a little hard to do but I actually think it taught me a little about seeing the different levels of students at that age. When the kids got back, we took a few of them to do individual reading assessments in another room. Each child read a short passage titled “Pizza.” We stopped them after one minute, where they then told us what the story was about. Then, we filled out fluency and comprehension charts based on how they did. Besides the fact that reading about pizza over and over again made me very hungry, I think it was a great experience. I really liked being able to work one on one with the students and to see the different levels the children are at. Overall, I think it was a very successful Wednesday at University Elementary School.

I agree! I think we really had a great experience last week. I had never done a reading assessment before, so I really learned a lot. I also was really hungry after hearing that passage three times!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed being able to be in that class for a couple hours because I was able to see an older class. I liked being able to assess the papers that they had done and see where they are and how they have developed.
