==== February 5, 2009 One of the students with a special education plan was pulled out during language arts to focus on his level of language arts and to prepare for the next day’s spelling test. The student had six spelling words to focus on and had already worked on them for a couple days on his own. He was given paper and pencil while the teacher read each word and then used it in a sentence. The teacher then reviewed his work and found that he spelled one word incorrectly (called was spelled //calld//). The student was then instructed on the difference, informed of the suffix, and the list was repeated. On the second try the student spelled every word correctly. This pre-assessment helped the student on his actual spelling test; he got a perfect score on the test as well as learned the suffix. I feel that this particular assessment was well done and a good use of time. However, although the level of difficulty of the words was on par, if I was to assign this student work I would have had him work on more words. ====
