End-of-Year Assessments

Most parents want some type of assessment at the end of the school year to see what level their child is performing at. You can research on-line for diagnostic tools to help you with this. I have found a free math diagnostic test from Math Mammoth for first-fourth grade. CLICK HERE. If your child does need some extra practice with a particular skill, you can purchase the E-Books for that precise skill that are very inexpensive (usually under $5.00 for individual topics).

I also found a free reading assessment from Reading Key. CLICK HERE. This website also promotes a reading program, which I am not yet recommending because I have not personally used it. But I do like using their test on-line.

Another helpful tool for home educators is using reading and writing expectations checklists throughout the school year. A link for reading and writing for K-5 that I have used for years is provided by Hillsborough County. CLICK HERE. Print off the PDF format at the bottom of the page for a nice checklist. As your child performs a task, simply check it off.

I recently categorized all of the posts on this Blog. This will provide you with over 100 teaching tips that you may want to take a look at over the summer. CLICK HERE to read them.

I hope this information provides a nice completion to your school year!
