Free Writing Evaluations Assessment Tests

Placement tests help determine which is the right level for a student.

• Students need to be working where they are succeeding.
• Frustration and shut down need to be a thing of the past.
• When students are working at the correct level, they are teachable.
• Students work more independently, working at the correct instruction level.

These are writing skills tests, not intelligence tests. The tests show what writing skills students already have and what skills they are ready to learn. When students struggle with a test, that means they will struggle with that level.

• If the student finds the test hard, then consider a lower level.
• If a student takes longer to complete a test than the recommended time frame, consider a lower level. Completion times are suggested on each test. 
• If a student does excellent on one test, go ahead and take the test for the next level.

General Guidelines:

1.      Enter the parent’s email and co-op teacher / tutor email if taking a class.

2.      Read through the test instructions with the student.

3.      The student should complete any test without adult help.

When you click the submit button, the test is sent to Rebecca for evaluation. She will respond by email with her opinion of what level your student needs to be using. If she has some questions, then she will respond with email or a phone call.
