This resource is exactly what I was looking for for my first grade classroom! It supports learners of all academic levels and abilities, and I love how easy it is to differentiate so I can meet the individual needs of each student. The activities fit seamlessly into my existing curriculum, making planning and implementation simple. Everything is developmentally appropriate for first graders and keeps my students engaged while reinforcing important skills. I highly recommend this resource to any first grade teacher looking for a versatile, high-quality addition to their classroom!

This resource came in handy to assess a new first grader. It was easy to use and covered all the skills I needed to assess at this time! I was just wondering why the scope and sequence for first and second grades each start at number five, while kindergarten stated at one. Perhaps I’m not thinking of it in the right manner. This is not a criticism; I just want to understand. I look forward to purchasing more of this seller’s resources!

This assessment has been a game changer. I have now used this resource for three years now. It is very extensive and does take time, however it provides valuable information on each student throughout the year on top of district mandiated assessments. Thank you for sharing this resource. I look forward to continuing to use it for years to come!

The Day Before School –
I used the Kindergarten assessment last year with my Kindergartener to see where to take and how to adjust my homeschool lessons. I love how in-depth and detailed this is to help me gauge how my child is doing with homeschooling and what level my child is currently on. I’d recommend this resource to all teachers, be it in the homeschool, public school, private, or charter school realm!

I LOVE this resource! It is so nicely laid out and easy to follow. I love that I can quickly go through the pages and find out where the needs of my students are. I really like how these are created so that I can send a copy of the assessment home to parents and they can also see where their child needs support. It is a way for parents to also get involved with at home supports as well.
