Assessment can be difficult for both teachers and students, depending on how it’s done.
Here’s a super simple little trick for assessment that I call Hop Across the Pond. It can be used for a lot of different things, but I use it mostly for assessment of students’ sight word knowledge.
Make a trail of sight word cards across the floor in a winding path; this path represents the rocks in a pond.
Students simply jump from word to word reading each one aloud for me. Give it a try!
