ASSESSMENT SESSION FORM
Session: 2
Date: September 3, 2024
Student Name and Grade Level: Emma, 3rd Grade
Goal for the Session: To assess Emma’s ability to recognize and produce rhymes as part of phonemic awareness.
Assessment Administered:
Phonemic Awareness Test: Rhyme Recognition
Ekwall/Shanker Reading Inventory, 7th edition (Shanker & Cockrum, 2019)
Assessment Results:
· Emma correctly identified 4 out of 8 rhyming pairs, resulting in a 50% success rate.
Observations: Summary of Data Analysis:
Emma struggled with producing rhyming words independently, particularly when presented with less familiar words. She was able to recognize rhymes when given examples but required prompting for more complex word pairs. Her understanding of simpler rhymes like “cat” and “bat” was strong, while she hesitated with words like “think” and “blink.”
What CAN the Student Do, Based on This Session’s Data Findings?
· Emma can recognize rhyming patterns with simple, familiar words.
· She can produce rhymes with assistance and when cued.
What Does the Student NEED in Order to Be ON or ABOVE Grade Level?
· Emma needs additional practice with rhyming, focusing on more complex and unfamiliar words.
· Engaging exercises, such as rhyming games or songs, could help reinforce this skill and improve her confidence.
