It's the end of the term for me next week. It's fast approaching and I realized I need to do my sight word assessment very soon. So, of course I thought I'd share that assessment with all of you! Because I teacher first grade, I assess all students on the first grade list at the beginning of the year. Then, students who know all first 100 words are assessed on the second 100. After that, I no longer assess on sight words. The hope is that students are able to do the first 100 by the end of the second term, but I do have a few who I still need to assess at the end of the third term coming up.
Here are your FREEBIES
If you want an assessment for all 1000 words, you can get it

If you do guided reading, you may know that an important component of tracking your students' progress is to conduct ongoing running records. These records can be key to monitoring your students and knowing when they are ready for a new reading level. Here are two versions of an ongoing running record for you. One includes 50 boxes and one is blank to allow more room for your record taking. I've been reading this book: The Next Step in Guided Reading: Focused Assessments and Targeted Lessons for Helping Every Student Become a Better Reader
which contains a great lesson frame work for pre-readers. I was able to demonstrate it in a Kindergarten classroom last week and LOVE it! If you do guided reading in your classroom, or would like to, this is a great resource you should have.
