This informal sight word assessment helps determine which words to be practicing with students each day. As you can see from the picture above students will have multiple checks and Xs next to each word. If they are incorrect or hesitant with the word I give them an X. If they are able to read or write the word quick and accurately, I give them a check in the box next to the corresponding sight word. These graphs include the Dolch sight words that students are currently working on mastering: PrePrimer, Primer, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, or 3rd Grade list.Īs students complete the sight word activities during guided reading, teachers can use the data graphs to document each individual student’s success with reading and/or writing the word. I like to track these skills separately since students’ mastery of words they can read and write will vary. For each guided reading group, I have two separate data graphs: one to track words they can read and one for words they can write. Teachers may want to use data graphs to track the sight words that students can read and/or write. (For ideas of the sight word games I play check out the blog post!) During these activities, teachers can informally assess students to see which words they know automatically and which are still unknown. This may include doing a quick write on whiteboards to practice known sight words or playing a fun review game. Sight words practice is typically included into the daily guided reading routine.
