There are many opportunities to check for understanding within each unit. In addition, we also have access to a folder of standards-based mini-assessments if you need more data on a student's progress.
Section Checkpoints: Each section in kindergarten and Grade 1 has a checklist of indicators that students are meeting the section goals.
End of Unit Assessment: Each unit (starting in Kindergarten, Unit 2) includes an end-of-unit written assessment that is intended for students to complete individually to assess what they have learned at the conclusion of the unit. In K-2, the assessment may be read aloud to students, as needed.
