Companies,Inc.Benchmark AssessmentBenchmark Assessment is an integral part of the complete assessment program aligned with McGraw-Hill Reading Wonders and the Common Core State Standards(CCSS).Purpose of Benchmark AssessmentBenchmark Assessment reports on the outcome of your children s learning.The results of Benchmark Assessment serve as a summative assessment by providing a way to measure children s progress through the CCSS-aligned curriculum.The results of the assessments can be used to inform subsequent instruction,aid in making leveling and grouping decisions,and point toward areas in need of reteaching or remediation.Benchmark Assessment tests provide students valuable practice in preparing for the type of high-stakes testing they will begin to encounter as they progress through school.Focus of Benchmark AssessmentBenchmark Assessment focuses on key areas of English Language Arts as identified by the CCSS:comprehension of literature and informational text,phonics and decoding skills,and recognition of high-frequency words.Administering Benchmark AssessmentBenchmark Test 1 should be administered mid-year,after instruction for Units 15 has been completed.Benchmark Test 2 should be administered close to the end of the year.Teacher script,including the comprehension selections and all test items,precedes the Answer Key for each test.Make copies of the benchmark assessment for the class.You will need one copy of the Answer Key page that features the scoring table for each child taking the assessment.This table provides a place to list children s scores.The data from each benchmark assessment chart children s progress and underscore strengths and weaknesses.After each child has a copy of the assessment,provide a version of the following directions:Say:Write your name and the date on the top of each page of this test.(When children are finished,continue with the directions.)I will read four stories aloud.I also will read questions.Some of the questions will be about the stories.Some of the questions will ask you about sounds or words.Draw a circle around the correct answer for each question.When we have completed the test,put your pencil down and turn the pages over.We will begin now.Answer procedural questions during the assessment.After the class has completed the assessment,ask children to verify that their names and the date are written on the necessarypages.Teacher IntroductionProgram:Core ReadingVendor:AptaraComponent:BA_FMGrade:KPDF Pagesiv Benchmark Assessment Teacher

ScoresEach item on the benchmark assessment is worth one point,for a total of twenty-five points per test.The goal of each benchmark assessment is to evaluate children s mastery of previously-taught material and to gauge progress toward year-end goals.The expectation is for children to score 80%or higher on the assessment as a whole.For children who would benefit from additional instruction,assign appropriate lessons from the Tier 2 online PDFs.Use children s results in particular skill categories to guide your assignments.The Answer Keys in Benchmark Assessment provide the information you need to understand your children s performance and plan for their individualized instructional and intervention needs.ItemAnswerContent FocusCCSSComplexity 10boil the sapKey
