Weekly Assessments/Tests

Over the past 2 years I wrote weekly assessments for our first grade team. It was an adventure, with writing passages to specific reading levels, and putting questions together that would make 5 teachers happy. Well, it's done, and  I even had a couple of other schools try them. Barb even tried it in Florida, thanks Barb.

1st Grade Weekly Assessment

If you like this, I have a year's worth of tests at TpT.

This packet includes a year's worth of 1st Grade Common Core assessments. The tests are given to the entire class and can be used with any reading series.

The standard based assessments integrate Language Arts, Reading, Science, and Social Studies within each exam. As the year progresses, the tests build upon each other and, by mid-year, all strands are woven into each test.

Each assessment contains a grading rubric that breaks down each
question by the skills incorporated. Many questions are graded in more than one standard area on the rubric.

The packet consists of:
• 4 pre-assessments;
• 14 assessments (total of 18 tests for the year);
• A sample grading page;
• A table showing which skills are tested on which assessment; and
• A table showing reading level, number of questions, and number of pages for each assessment .

After each testing week, you will have grades based on the standards and an overall test grade for the assessment. All assessments were evaluated over the past year in 7 different classrooms. They were shown to effectively break down each strand and allow you to drive your instruction with data.
Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions about the assessment prior to purchasing and suggestions you may have to improve the assessment.
I hope you will find these useful.

Thank you
