This assessment was developed working backwards by identifying the deep understanding of the two passages. Key Ideas were identified to support constructed responses and key details were aligned with the selected response

questions. All questions support students’ background knowledge of a central insight or message.

Thank you to all of those who reviewed and edited and a special appreciation to Vicki Danielsand her amazing editing skills.

Please note:

During kindergarten students are not normally reading. Read the stories to the students and ask the questions as Listening Comprehension questions. Most students should be able to point to pictures and answer questions with support and prompting.

Please tell students what the pictures show if students aren’t clear about the image. The literary section can be assessed at a different time than the informational section.

This assessment can be done as a class project over several weeks with the literary section taught and assessed at a different time than the informational section.

Listening comprehension prepares students for the kind of questions that are higher level questions (rather than decodable text which is not conducive to higher level questioning).

Constructed response questions and language tasks are in these assessments.

Kindergarten Directions: You will need

1. …the literature and informational story. Read each to your class 2-3 times. Discuss the story so that students are clear about language and vocabulary terms.

2. …..a Kindergarten Pre-Assessment Student Checklist for each student (these have the questions and a place to check how the student did). These could be used as a record keeper for each student if desired.

3. ….a student picture prompt page (each story has a picture prompt sheet that you can re-use). If you are working with a small group you will need one for each child.

Bees are amazing insects. They work hard to get food. Bees get their food from flowers. This is why bees buzz around flowers.

Busy Bees Readworks.org

Bees make honey. First they get food from flowers. Then they make honey. Bees love making honey.

People also take honey from bees. All honey comes from bees. Honey can be very sweet!

Bees live in big groups. Thousands of bees live in one hive. The hive has one queen bee. The queen is the mother bee.

Bees are always busy. We sure are lucky that they make honey. But be careful around bees. Bees can sting you with their stinger!

A note about constructed responses: Constructed response answers are not written “in stone.” There is no perfect way a student should respond. Look for the general intent of the prompt and student response and follow the rubric below as much as possible. Use your best judgment. Unlike DOK-1 questions where there is one right and wrong answer, constructed responses are more difficult to assess. Overall consistency of intent based on most of your student responses can guide you.

does not like bees.• Aspects of the task and sufficient relevant evidence would be a simple reason to support the opinion.
