3rd Grade ELA Word Blending Assessment--Beginning of Year
Pre-Assessment: All students will be assessed on their skills with Yes/No cards before the written assessment takes place.
Middle Students
This group will be engaged in extension activities to practice blending and segmenting words
Change-a-Name Game: students will be able to recognize words when the I say the word with the first sound removed
Guess-the-Word Game: students practice how to blend and identify a word that is stretched out into its component sounds
Upside-down flashcards with two-letter sounds such as “sk, nt, mp” and “da, wo, te.” Partners will each flip one card over Memory-style to see if they can make a blended word. If they get a match, they each write the word on their record sheets.
Once partners have successfully completed all of their words, they will complete a Quizlet assessment to measure if they are ready for the extended skills.
Students give oral responses as a group and individually. If the majority of the group is responding correctly, I will move on to the last skill activity.
Skills Extension activities will be used to assess comprehension as I scaffold the games.
12 students who have some knowledge of word blending and segmentation. I will provide further opportunities to practice
Excelling Students
Compound Words: Students will be given partial words such as "ba...et...ba..." (“basketball”), along with a word bank of two-letter sounds, to create the word
If they successfully complete this first step, then I will give them a new set of partial words without a sound bank to choose from. This challenge requires them to have some knowledge of possible word and sound combinations.
Put all the scaffolded skills together by playing the online game Spot the Blended Words
End-of-Unit Summative Quizlet
5 highest-performing students in the pre-assessment, who answered all questions correctly. I will need to advance their skills and provide them opportunities to be challenged
Struggling Students
5 lowest-performing students in the pre-assessment, 3 of whom are ELL students or students with cognitive learning disabilities. We will start with basic phonemic skills and then advance up the continuum.
Begin by reinforcing phonological awareness via substituting sounds and the letter recognition online game
Once students are answering the game questions correctly, we will move on to segmentation activities
Blending practice via Drive-Thru Blending Game
Blending Sounds Hopper
As students successfully demonstrate mastery of these 3 foundational skills then I will give them 3 quizzes to measure.
