Frequently Asked QuestionsIs it okay for my paraprofessionalor parent helper to administerformal assessments?It is important for you, the teacher,to administer formal assessments.Through the assessment processyou can effectively diagnose andremediate or challenge each child,and establish a trusting relationship.Due to confidentiality, parent helpers should not be involved in theassessment process.Diagnose and RemediateThe most valuable information youobtain from the assessment processarises from your observation of howchildren arrive at the answers. Errorsmade in a child’s response can alertyou to: Speech substitutions Visual perception ordiscrimination problems Auditory discrimination errors Possible vision difficultiesWhen you assess, watch and listenclosely to the child’s responses, andthen record your observations. Indoing so, you will be able to diagnose errors, and plan remediationor challenges accordingly.Build Trusting RelationshipsFormal assessments provide anopportunity for youto meet with eachchild, one-on-one.This dynamic fosters aunique relationshipand trust betweenyou and the child.Formal assessment,combined with302UNIT 5your daily observations, and anecdotal records, all contribute to youroverall understanding of a child’sprogress.We specifically designed Day 5 ofeach week to enable you to conduct formal assessments. The sixLearning Center rotations are designed to function independentlyand without instruction.Why is it important to assess sooften, and how can I integratethe information ascertainedfrom assessment into the lessonplans?Ongoing informal assessment ispresent in the daily lesson plans.Children demonstrate their understanding of the skills you’veintroduced by making signals suchas “thumbs up” or writing theirresponses on whiteboards andholding them up for you to see.Observing your children’s responsesin these moments offers insightinto how well they are receivingthe information, but it is insufficientfor understanding how much theyhave assimilated and retained. Thisis why ongoing, individual progressmonitoring is so important.Our bi-weekly Progress MonitoringAssessments, downloadable fromthe Teacher’s Lounge, are a succinct,sufficient review of the previoustwo weeks’ instruction. Administering these assessments individuallyand over time gives you a snapshotof each child’s mastery, need foradditional practice, and learningdeficiencies (if any).Analyze the results of your ProgressMonitoring Assessments to determine trends that apply to the entireclass. We encourage you to modifythe lesson plans to include greateremphasis in areas of commonweakness. For example, if childrencommonly miss a series of high-frequency words, choose these wordsfor review. The same can be appliedto rhyming or blending errors.Should the results of your ProgressMonitoring Assessments revealchildren with common gaps, createskill groups around these areas.Choose children who have mastered these skills to mentor the skillgroups and lead their classmates tosimilar success.

Reading ResearchCurriculum and instruction areincreasingly driven by test contentand accountability. While formaltesting helps teachers and administrators know how students areperforming compared to otherstudents across the nation or state,many educators and researchershave misgivings regarding theconsequences of test content andformat dictating curriculum insteadof assessing it. (1) Driven by comparison and achievement, manycurrent assessment methods maybe missing their mark.At its best, assessment informsdecision-making about the needsof individual learners. Researchconducted at Harvard by the lateJeanne Chall, a leading expert inreading research and instruction,confirms frequent and timely assessment is effective because itestablishes time for both teachersand students to celebrate progress,and enables teachers to see whenand how methods and materials need to change to meet eachchild’s learning needs. (2) Properlydesigned and implemented, ongoing assessment informs us aboutstudents’ weaknesses and strengths.This essential information makes usbetter decision makers and our students more accomplished learners.of skills at key intervals throughoutthe year.It can be challenging to figure outwhat to do with assessment results!Ray Reutzel, Distinguished Professor of Early Childhood Educationat Utah State University, suggestsyou evaluate each assessment todetermine where a child is in hisor her reading development. Onceyou understand this, you will knowwhat instruction should comenext.(3)Pam Ferguson, Florida35 years experience teachingearly childhood educationJoan Elliott, Texas31 years experience teachingearly childhood education1.

Do you grow?Do you move? Do you breathe? Do you need to eat and drink? The answer is‘yes’ to all four questions, so you are living!Display a crayon.

Ask thequestions and determine that the plant is a living thing.Save the WordCards. Youwill usethem throughoutthe week. Partner the children. Give each pair one Picture Card. Children ask the four questions to determine if their Picture Card represents aliving or nonliving thing.
