I was given an opportunity to assess my student's writing skills. Using the Gentry test, I was able to categorize my student's writing ability under semi-phonetic, meaning that at that point of time, he was able to recognize some of the main letter sounds in the words as I said them. I enjoy using the Gentry test as it is a good formative assessment of student literacy and find out where they are in their writing at different points of the year. Spelling the words correctly is not the goal, but to show improvement every time the test is taken.
Supported our students work by displaying it in our school's hallway. Students, staff, and parents can admire the work and creativity of our students. Fall outcome #5.
