Assessment Plan
Demonstrate your understanding of the concepts covered in this course by developing a plan to assess learner performance.
Purpose and Learning Outcome: Describe the purpose of your assessment plan. Then, write a learning outcome that supports the purpose you have described.
First Grade Language Arts:
Purpose of assessment- Reading proficiently is a skill that is highly important in order to have success in every grade in school. Using phonics to decipher words is important as words can be complex and I want my students to have a solid core of understanding to excel in reading. My students will develop phonic awareness to assist them in decoding words in reading. They will understand that every letter has a unique sound.
Learning outcome- The students will use worksheets to apply their skills and knowledge in this area. At the end of six weeks they should be able to comprehend that letters have unique sounds and be able to move on to phonetic blends with ease.
Assessment One:
Example: Circle the letter that is missing in each sentence.
The _at sat on the mat. f r c
A bug was on the _ug. t r m
My _ar fell off our car. c j g
The hall had a blue _all. w p v

Holistic Rubric for Assessment Item #1.
Score Description
5 Demonstrates proficient knowledge of letter sounds
4 Demonstrates considerable knowledge
3 Demonstrates basic understanding
2 Demonstrates little knowledge
1 Demonstrates no knowledge of letter sounds
Testing constraints:
Since this is a first grade class, the only constraints that will be applied will be time restraints considering there is only 45 minutes for each subject. The other one would be that the students understand that they will be graded on knowledge that has been taught throughout the phonics unit of study.
