Do you need a quick and efficient way to assess your students’ first grade, second grade, and third grade Dolch sight words?

Do want digital data files that can be easily accessed, shared, and analyzed?

This is a bundle with THREE Google Sheet files and THREE sets of student probes! Multiply the preview by 3! I have also included the first, second, and third grade words in a presentation form with one word per slide!

This resource includes everything you need to benchmark your students’ high-frequency word recall three times each year. Each student (up to 30) will have a tab in this Google Sheet with three sight word assessments, one for fall, one for spring, and one for winter.

Simply click each missed word on the assessor probe as the student reads. Words read correctly and accuracy are automatically calculated and added to the class datasheet. A line graph of words read correctly will also be populated for quick analysis of class data and progress throughout the school year.

Each student probe can be printed and sent home so progress can be shared with parents (print horizontal, fit to page).

Fun, colorful overlays are included to help guide students’ eyes if you choose to present the student probes digitally (in PPT or Google Slides™)

Included in the zip file:
