Weekly Decodable Word Checks

Several years ago we created a set of 30 weekly decodable word lists that we use throughout the school year as quick assessments at the end of each week to document student progress.  They give us a quick snapshot of who needs additional support on specific phonics/decoding skills that we have covered in class.  We recently gave them a little facelift and they have been updated in our TpT store.  If you already purchased them you might want to download the newer version.  We promise they are WAY cuter and there is now a blank form included in the set for you to create your own word list . . . just in case there is a skill that you cover that is not included.

We also have a brand new companion that we just created to use along with our decodable word lists this year that are now available on TpT.  It is a set of 27  nonsense decodable word lists.  Since we began DIBEL’ing {that’s a verb, right???} a few years ago we have spent more time focusing on nonsense word activities.  This seems to be an area that often challenges some of our higher kiddos who have learned to read by sight.  We are hoping that these {new} nonsense word checks will give us a clearer picture of who can really apply the phonics skills and strategies that we spend so much time teaching.

We would LOVE to give a set of both weekly word checks away to one of our fabulous followers.

Here’s what you need to do . . .
