Phonics — Unit Quiz / Assessment

Question Types & Suggested Use

This resource is itself the unit's summative assessment; use the 12-point score to gauge overall unit mastery and identify students who may need additional letter-sound support before moving to a new topic.

Skills Assessed

• Students will demonstrate cumulative mastery of letter recognition, letter-sound matching, and comprehension of the unit's original reading passage, sampled across a representative span of the alphabet.

How to Administer

• Administer near the end of the unit, once most or all letters have been taught, typically as the final activity of the pacing plan.
• Read the instructions for each part aloud before students begin that section.
• Allow students to work independently.
• Grade using the included answer key and record the score in the score box.

Differentiation

Support: read each quiz item aloud individually, or reduce Part 1's letter-writing items to circling instead of writing.

Extension: have early finishers write one additional word that starts with each letter tested in Part 2.

Teacher Tips

Read each part's instructions aloud one section at a time rather than all at once at the start — at this age, students retain multi-step directions much better when they're given right before that section begins.
