Laing-Pre-Assessment

On Monday, the teacher will read aloud 18 words and the students must write down how they think/know to spell the word. After the teacher says all 18 words, the teacher will be able to assess which words the students already know and which words they don't. This is a pre assessment because the teacher can tell if the students know the correct spelling of the words or not. If certain students do know the correct spelling the first time around, they will be given challenge words in place of those to study for the test at the end of the week. If the students do not spell the words correctly, they will become familiar with those words and study them for the test on Friday. This helps the teacher, as well as the students, because it will provide a challenge for the more advanced students while helping the teacher assess what the students already know.
