McGraw Hill Reading Wonders, Weekly Assessment, Grade 6
Weekly Assessment
Weekly Assessment is an integral part of the complete assessment program aligned with McGraw-Hill Reading Wonders and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
Purpose of Weekly Assessment
Weekly Assessment offers the opportunity to monitor student progress in a steady and structured manner while providing formative assessment data. As students complete each week of the reading program, they will be assessed on their understanding of key instructional content. The results of the assessments can be used to inform subsequent instruction. The results of Weekly Assessment can also serve as a summative assessment by providing a status of current achievement in relation to student progress through the CCSS-aligned curriculum.
Focus of Weekly Assessment
Weekly Assessment focuses on two key areas of English Language Arts as identified by the CCSS—Reading and Language. Students will read two selections each week and respond to items focusing on Comprehension Skills and Vocabulary Strategies. These items assess the ability to access meaning from the text and demonstrate understanding of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases.
Administering Weekly Assessment
Each weekly assessment should be administered once the instruction for the specific week is completed. Make copies of the weekly assessment for the class. You will need one copy of the Answer Key page for each student taking the assessment. The scoring table at the bottom of the Answer Key provides a place to list student scores. The accumulated data from each weekly assessment charts student progress and underscores strengths and weaknesses. After each student has a copy of the assessment, provide a version of the following directions:
Say: Write your name and the date on the question pages for this assessment. (When students are finished, continue with the directions.) You will read two selections and answer questions about them. Read each selection and the questions that follow it carefully. For the multiple-choice items, completely fill in the circle next to the correct answer. For the constructed response item, write your response on the lines provided. When you have completed the assessment, put your pencil down and turn the pages over. You may begin now.
Answer procedural questions during the assessment, but do not provide any assistance on the items or selections. After the class has completed the assessment, ask students to verify that their names and the date are written on the necessary pages.
