Use the following Grade 4 Vocabulary pre-/post-assessment

pages to plan instruction and monitor progress.
DIRECTIONS FOR ADMINISTERING AND SCORING ASSESSMENTS

This assessment can be administered as a Pre-Assessment for planning instruction and

then again as a Post-Assessment at yearÕs end to monitor progress. The assessment
can be administered to children individually or in a group. Detailed guidelines for
administering and scoring the Pre-/Post-Assessment are presented below.

GUIDELINES FOR USING THE PRE-ASSESSMENT

This Pre-/Post-Assessment is 20 pages long. Each page targets a specific skill or area of
Vocabulary knowledge. Plan for about 40 minutes to administer the Pre-Assessment, but
allow more time if needed. Children should be allowed to finish answering every item.
Depending on the children and your situation, you may want to administer the Pre-
Assessment in two parts in different sittings.

Read directions aloud to the student(s). Note where students succeed and where
they struggle on the Individual Pre-/Post-Assessment Scoring Chart. Then use Everyday
Vocabulary Intervention Activity units to support these areas.

To Administer the Pre-Assessment:

1. Make a copy of the assessment for each child.
2. Have children write their names at the top of each assessment page.
3. Read the directions on each page and make sure children know what to do.
4. Have children complete each item with their best answer.
5. When children have finished, collect the assessments.

To Score the Pre-Assessment:

1. Make a copy of the Individual Pre-/Post-Assessment Scoring Chart (found on
page 22 of this PDF) for each student.
2. Mark each question correct or incorrect on the assessment page using the Answer
Key (found at the end of this PDF).
3. To find the total assessment score, count the number of items answered correctly.
4. Then write the number count in the Pre-Assessment column.
5. Add the total to assess overall performance, and use the correlating unit in the EIA
Vocabulary book to target skills that look like they require more support.

Using the Results:
1. Use the results of the Pre-Assessment to determine each studentÕs current level of
proficiency in the strategies being assessed.
2. As explained above, the items in the Pre-Assessment measure strategies in particular
skills. A studentÕs score on a particular cluster can pinpoint specific instructional
needs. A student who answers fewer than 50% of items in each cluster correctly
may need focused instructional attention on those particular strategies.
3. Plotting scores on the Individual Pre-Assessment/Post-Assessment Scoring Charts
provides a handy reference for monitoring studentsÕ growth and development. Such
information can be used to identify the skills and strategies to be reinforced for a
whole group, small group, or individual.
4. Store the Pre-Assessment/Post-Assessment Scoring Charts in an appropriate location
for referral during the school year, and for end-of-year comparison of the Pre-
Assessment and Post-Assessment scores.

GUIDELINES FOR USING THE POST-ASSESSMENT

The Post-Assessment is identical to the Pre-Assessment and should be administered and

scored in the same way. Thus, the item numbers on the Individual Pre-/Post-Assessment
Scoring Chart are the same for both assessments.

Use the results of the Post-Assessment to determine each studentÕs current level of
proficiency in the strategies being assessed. Compare the studentsÕ scores on the Pre-
Assessment and Post-AssessmentÑand on each strategy cluster within the assessmentsÑ
to evaluate the studentÕs progress since the beginning of the year.
