This is an assessment to determine the content knowledge of incoming students when they're entering kindergarten and assess at the end of the year . I usually give this assessment during the first and last week of school. I use the data to help guide and plan my beginning of the year lesson plans and to see if students have mastered standards required to progress to first grade. This data is also shown to my students' parents during our first and last parent-teacher conference of the year. It is filed in studentÕs folder to track growth. I do not expect students to make a perfect score. I simply use this assessment to see where each of students are at learning skills or to see if each students mastered standards at the end of the year . I hope you will find it as useful as I have.

I personally use this as a beginning and of the year assessment in kindergarten, but it can also be used as an end of the year Pre-K assessment or beginning of first grade.

This assessment was created for the kindergarten teachers at my school. So this assessment may or may not work for you. Please look at the skills assessed to help you determine whether this assessment will be beneficial to you.
