Scoring Level 2 Completion Assessment

STEPS TO SCORE

1. Use the answer key in the assessor guide (thin gray text). 2. Compare each student response to the correct answers in the guide.

3. Mark each question in the student assessment

Correct = ✓

4. Count the total number of correct responses.

5. Use the calculating percent chart to match the number of correct responses with the percent

correct.

6. Record the number correct for each assessment section on the back page of the student

assessment.

7. Use the table below to determine placement.

CALCULATING SCORES FOR LEVEL 2 70% correct for each section means a student has passed level 2. The following outlines the number

Level 2B Oral Individual Assessment

This will be the first part of the test, and it will be done with one assessor per student. Place the

reading passage in front of the student. The scoring sheet for the reading passage and comprehension

questions are in the back of the student assessment booklet.

Time limit for reading the story: 3 minutes (stop the student after 3 minutes)

For the summative assessment, ALL students will take ALL parts of the assessment.

Level 2B Whole Group Test Administration

After the individual tests are finished, use the following directions to administer the written literacy,

numeracy, science, and social studies test to the group of students. Prompt the students to read each

question to themselves and try their best to answer the question. Give students time to answer or

attempt to answer the questions. It is alright if students do not answer.

R.

a) Silent K kitten know

b) Silent W wreck weight

c) Silent B lamb ball

10. Read each sentence. The verb is underlined. Circle the verb’s tense. Past tense

b) The teacher reads to her student everyday __.___

13. Read each sentence. Circle the subject and underline the predicate in each

sentence. Remember, the subject of the sentence is whom or what the sentence

is about. The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells us what the subject

is doing.

Example The teacher asks the students questions.

a) Mary eats fish.

b) My teacher writes on the chalkboard.

14. Think about what you do on the weekends. Write four complete sentences that

tell the reader about what you do on the weekend. Remember, complete
