As I started planning for the first week of school I began listing beginning of the year assessments I wanted to be sure and give my students.
Math: CCSS and mixed Fact Fluency
Writing: Lucy Caulkins 2nd grade baseline writing assessment--Three blank sheets of paper folded and stapled into a book. Directions to students: "What do you know a lot about? Make a book that will teach someone else all about what you know!"
Reading: Read Naturally 1.8 Chocolate Chip Cookies fluency timing (expectation 55-65wpm), MAP assessment at the end of September.
I needed something more for reading so I created a Reading Interest Interview that includes important reading-related questions that will give me oodles of information about my students as readers.
Head over to my TPT store and download this interview for FREE!
What beginning of the year assessments give you the most information about your students?
