First Assessment: Letter Recognition Assessment

The Letter Recognition assessment is part of a series of suggested evaluations on Gunning’s “Reading Success for All Students : Using Formative Assessment to Guide Instruction and Intervention” (2011). This is a good pre-assessment to be used when a teacher is not aware yet of the students’ knowledge.
This test intends to determine if students are able to recognize a letter and also identify their names. It can be administered individually or in a group setting. The teacher asks the child to circle a specific letter out of a row of letters and pictures. Another way to use this test is to ask students to say the letters’ names on each row. A score 8 out of 10 is considered adequate.
This test’s great advantages are that it is easy and fast to apply. It is a great tool to evaluate kindergarten students, since some have been exposed to letter learning if they were enrolled in pre-K while others may not have any comprehension of it yet.
