While I see the value in assessing students, I question whether the people developing these tests have actually every worked with students on this level. But that is a topic for another day...
We began with Reading A-Z.com (yes, again) for text that supported the theme. The book that was chosen was a multi-level book.
The wordless book was used to label the animals. |
The midlevel book was used to focus on goals on a few of the student's IEPs that focus on verbs. |
The highest level book will be used either for a teacher-read text or for a student reading task. |
This task used photographs to identify habitats. |
This is a comprehension task based on the animals from the Readinga-z book. (It will use Wiki-Sticks to "draw" a line to the photo that shows the answer.) |
Using a book format, this task focuses on what each animal eats. |
Based on the ReadingA-Z book, this task focuses on placing animals in the appropriate habitat. |
This task asks the students to match the photograph to the outline of the animal. |
Same task with the labels covered up |
Sorting task for herbivores, carnivores or omnivores with labels |
This is a reading comprehension task. The animals in this task are from the ReadingA-Z book. |
