As special education teachers, we often are not provided with appropriate resources to assess our students current levels of learning. Or the resource we are given doesn’t meet the needs of all of the learning styles in our classroom. We always make it work, we’re superheroes!
 
But it’s time to use our superhero strengths for something else.

What comes within each section of the Literacy Assessment system?

one sheet for easy referencing. Each section of the assessment also includes a skill specific data sheet.
• Letter ID + Beginning Letter Sounds
Letter ID + Sounds can be one binder or two; I keep both assessments in one binder. Includes assessment student identification of letters (26 upper and 28 lowercase), as well as the sound and formation of each letter. Lists and flash cards for each portion included for differentiation.

Sentences based on preset word lists. Includes 4 types of writing paper, as well as the cut and paste sentences for our lower level students.
• Writing Vocabulary
Instructions and writing sheet included. Let students write all of the words and letters they know (even if it is “scribbles”!) It all counts.
• Comprehension
16 leveled passages included (DRA Level A-G), with fluency data sheet and comprehension data sheet. Comprehension questions are differentiated into 4 levels: write the answer, word answers, picture with word answers, and pictures answers.
• Nonsense Words
Formatted identical to the Dolch/Fry word lists. Contains 3 separate packs, with 4 different lists per pack. Flash cards and lists included for differentiation.
 
• Digital Parts:
Flash cards in PDF format (Dolch + Fry)
Letter ID + Beginning Letter Sounds
 
How do you store all of the parts?
I store the Literacy Assessment parts inside of black 3-ring binders. Each section of the assessment gets its own binder, but you can use one large binder. Whatever is easiest for you.
 
I use page protectors to store the assessment pieces inside of each binder. I, also, print the instructions on a piece of colored cardstock and slip it into the first page protector of each binder.
 
To store the flash cards and non-list items, I use 3-ring binder pockets. I found mine at Office Depot, but you can use any time of pocket or folder to store them. You can also store these pieces in the Iris photo bins and label the bins.

I used the Literacy Assessments for Special Ed IEP Progress Monitoring to establish baselines, monitor student growth, and collect meaningful data for literacy IEP goals. The comprehensive assessments were especially beneficial for my special education learners, providing valuable information for present levels, progress reporting, and data-driven instructional planning across a variety of reading and language skills.

I am a special education resource teacher at the elementary level. This product is effective for me, because the first few days of school I pull my students and assess them on all of their basic skills. This product drives data and instruction. I got to meet Mrs. D at Get Your Teach On this summer! Super exciting! Hi, Mrs. D's thanks for all your products!
