Assessment Write-up #1
You are required to conduct 2 assessment write-ups for this course. This course expands your knowledge of literacy development and assessment at the K-2 levels. Therefore, it will be necessary for you to find a student inside or outside of your classroom/school who will assist you in field-testing.
Administer the following assessments with the K-2 student you selected to work with this semester. You are also required to write a detailed report of the results. The details of the write-up are below.
To start this project you will need to conduct TWO of the following FOUR assessments:
Phoneme/Phonics Assessments (choose one) Letter ID or Word List (choose one)
The Yopp-Singer Phoneme Assessment Letter Identification*
CORE Phonics Assessment San Diego Quick Word List Assessment
Need help figuring out where to start? See Module 3, Objective 2.
*The Letter Identification assessment is part of the CORE Phonics Assessment – you do not need to administer the whole assessment if you only need letter ID. If you have already administered the entire CORE Phonics assessment, you have already completed two assessments and are done.
**If you would like further information, and your student is not at a point of frustration, you have the option of completing one or both of the remaining assessments.
Assessment protocols are in the assessment documents provided. You MUST turn in a copy of the filled-in protocols with your final write-up. See the rubric below for details regarding what it should include in your write-up. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Happy assessing!

Conclusion and 1 Teaching Strategy/Instructional Recommendations:
· Based on the current assessment, create a plan for future instruction. What do you need to address in your instruction based on the child’s results? This may be based on a deficit you recognized in the results, or it may be that the student has mastered the concept. If so, what would be your next step in addressing this student’s literacy needs?
· List at least 1 differentiated literacy strategy you could use with your student and the corresponding standard(s) (NVACS / CCSS–write out the full standard) that align with this strategy, (i.e., derivational endings, word study, comprehension, fluency, vocabulary).
For example: If your student needs to work on comprehension, you might recommend one of the comprehension strategies mentioned in the readings for Module 2. You may use course resources, professional texts, articles, or personal educational resources. Describe the strategy and why/how it would benefit your student.
Next, identify and write out the NVACS/ CCCS it would meet. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.2.1Links to an external site.: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.

Is there anything you would do to improve the implementation for next time?
You are not required to address ALL questions, but I expect to see thoughtful reflection throughout the paper on the assessment process, teacher-impact, and student-impact.
