Letter/Sound Assessment

Date: January 12, 2016

I designed this letter/sound identification (i.d.) assessment so that I can see a student’s progress at a glance for the year. This lowercase letter/sound assessment can be used eight times if you run it front and back.  Here is an example of how I mark the assessment when I give it.

This particular example shows 6 assessments that I gave to the same student over the course of the year.  In between assessments, I work on filling in the gaps by constant review.  As you can tell the student improved considerably between Assessment 1 and Assessment 2.   Then from there on out the student made the progress toward 100% accuracy on both letter i.d. and letter sounds.   Once 100% accuracy is achieved, this is an indicator to me that I can move on to letter blending skills.

When I get a new student, the first thing I do is check to see if he/she knows their letters and sounds no matter their age or grade. I expect that younger students won’t know all their letters and sounds, but there have been many times that even older students don’t know certain letters and sounds. So this quick 3 minute check can expose the basic fundamental gaps in a student’s reading skills.

I assess a student’s progress about every four and half weeks and continue to assess until he/she has gained all 26 lower case letters and sounds, or 52 if you are assessing both lower and uppercase. In between the four and half weeks, a student works on their weaknesses. That way by the next assessment, a student’s letter/sound knowledge is stronger.

Take time to download any of these FREE versions of this assessment.
