They’re finally here!  I have worked hard to create math assessments for grades 1-6 and reading assessments for grades 1-4 (grades 5 and 6 are coming soon).

I’ve taken the math curriculae from several regions, extracted specific concepts, and created my own Tutorgiant.com assessments.  The math assessments cover all 5 math areas; number sense, geometry, patterning and algebra, measurement, and data and probability.  The reading assessments foucs on reading comprehension skills such as; inferring, asking questions, synthesizing, determining importance, and making connections.

The assessments are a good starting point for parents to get an idea of their child’s weaker subject areas.  I’ve already had some good feedback on the assessments, especially math.  So far, I’ve had quite the response.  Most people have emailed me and said that the assessments were pretty much in line with their child’s report card.

I think that they are a good starting point for parents.  I have still been reminding parents on my radio and tv appearances to look back at that 3rd term report card in order to be aware of their child’s weaker subject areas.  I think that using the report card and my new assessments will help give parents a good picture as to where their child needs help before it’s too late.
