Unit AssessmentUnit Assessment is an integral part of the complete assessment program aligned with McGraw-Hill Reading Wonders and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

Purpose of Unit Assessment

Unit Assessment reports on the outcome of your children’s learning. As children complete each unit of the reading program, they will be assessed on their understanding of key instructional content. The results of Unit Assessment serve as a summative assessment by providing a status of current achievement in relation to children’s progress through the CCSS-aligned curriculum. The results of the assessments can be used to inform subsequent instruction, aid in making leveling and grouping decisions, and point toward areas in need of reteaching or remediation.

Focus of Unit Assessment

Unit Assessment focuses on key areas of English Language Arts as identified by the CCSS—comprehension of literature and informational text, phonemic awareness, phonics, and word recognition.

Administering Unit Assessment

Each unit assessment should be administered once the instruction for the specific unit is completed. Teacher script, including the comprehension selections and all test items, precedes the Answer Key for each test.Make copies of the unit assessment for the class. You will need one copy of the Answer Key page that features the scoring table for each child taking the assessment. This table provides a place to list children’s scores. The data from each unit assessment chart children’s progress and underscore strengths and weaknesses.After each child has a copy of the assessment, provide a version of the following directions: Say: Write your name and the date on the top of each page of this test. (When children are finished, continue with the directions.) I will read two stories aloud. I also will read questions. Some of the questions will be about the stories. Some of the questions will ask you about sounds or words. Draw a circle around the correct answer for each question. When we have completed the test, put your pencil down and turn the pages over. We will begin now.Answer procedural questions during the assessment. After the class has completed the assessment, ask children to verify that their names and the date are written on the necessary pages.

Evaluating Unit Assessment ScoresEach item on the unit assessment is worth one point, for a total of twenty points per test. The optional writing prompt for Units 6–10 is worth three points.

The goal of each unit assessment is to evaluate children’s mastery of previously-taught material. The expectation is for children to score 80% or higher on the assessment as a whole. For children who would benefit from additional instruction, assign appropriate lessons from the Tier 2 online PDFs. Refer to the unit “Summative Assessment” spreads in the Teacher’s Editions of McGraw-Hill Reading Wonders for specific lessons.

The Answer Keys in Unit Assessment provide the information you need to understand your children’s performance and plan for their individualized instructional and intervention needs.

Comprehension


At the Zoo One day, some new animals came to live in the zoo. “Hello! Welcome to your new home,” Monkey said. “I come from the rain forest. Where are you from?” “I grew up by the sea, where there are lots of fish to eat,” answered Penguin. “Where do you come from, Camel?” Camel replied, “I come from the dry and sandy desert. But my friends Kangaroo and Lion come from the grasslands.” Monkey smiled at Penguin and Camel. “We come from many different places. Now we live together in this fine zoo.

Comprehension


How Seeds Travel Do you know that most plants grow without help from people? Most plants start as seeds. Seeds can travel in many ways from place to place. If they land in a good spot, seeds can grow into new plants. Some seeds travel on animals’ fur or in their bodies. Bears, foxes, and dogs may all carry seeds. The animals drop the seeds as they move around. Some seeds blow in the wind. Some seeds float in rivers. Some seeds can even float on the ocean and grow into plants far, far away. Did you ever blow on a puffy dandelion? If you did, you helped seeds travel, all by yourself.

Turn to page 1.




I will read a question. Listen to the question as I read it aloud: Which picture shows an animal that might carry seeds? Look at the three pictures in the row. Choose the picture that shows the answer to the question and draw a circle around it. What is the answer?


Yes, the second picture shows a bear. The story says that seeds can travel on animals’ fur. A bear has fur, so a bear’s fur may carry seeds.

Will you help me, Amy?” Amy said, “ I still don’t like potatoes, but I’ll help.” Grandpa dug a hole in the garden. Amy got down on her hands and knees. She felt around in the dirt. She found lots of potatoes. It was like finding buried treasure. Then Amy and Grandpa washed the potatoes. What a surprise! They weren’t plain old brown potatoes. Some were red. Some were white.

Favorite Seasons

Miss Green asked, “What is your favorite season?” All of her students began to talk at once. “Slow down,” said Ms. Green. “One at a time.” Mia raised her hand. “I like winter because I can go sledding.” Tomás said, “I like spring. I like to hear the birds sing and watch the flowers come up.” Alex said, “I like fall. I like to rake piles of colorful crunchy leaves. Then I jump in them.” “Does anyone like summer best?” the teacher asked. At first, no one answered. Then all of the other children raised their hands. Ms. Green asked, “Why didn’t anyone choose summer before?” Lee said, “We don’t have school in summer. We did not want to hurt your feelings. We like you and school, Ms. Green, but we love summer!”

It was almost four o’clock, but Bear was very sleepy. “I’ll just take a quick nap,” he yawned. He sat down in a comfy chair to wait for his friends to arrive. Soon Mouse arrived. He chattered away at the door to Bear’s den, but Bear did not answer. Then Goat arrived. She knocked politely on the door with her hoof. Bear still didn’t answer. Goat knocked again, harder this time. Bear still didn’t answer.Goat peeked inside the den. There was Bear, fast asleep in his comfy chair. “Oh, dear!” said Goat. “We’re too late!” “Wait,” said Mouse. “We may as well have tea and cookies, since we are here. When Bear finally wakes up from his long nap, the tea will be cold and the cookies will be stale.” Goat agreed. “Okay, we’ll have tea now. Then we’ll come back and visit again when Bear wakes up next spring,” she said.

Comprehension


All Kinds of Animals

What if you were an animal instead of a person? If you were a bird, you would hatch from an egg. You would grow feathers and learn to fly. You could walk on two legs. If you were a fish, you would live in the water. You might eat plants or bugs or other small fish. If you were a frog, you would change your shape. At first, you would have a tail and live in the water like a fish. Then you would grow four legs. You could hop around on land or swim in the water. If you were an animal like a dog or a cat, your mother would feed you. You would grow hair or fur and walk on four legs. Which animal would you like to be?

Turn to page 1.




I will read a question. Listen to the question as I read it aloud: Which animal grows feathers? Look at the three pictures in the row. Choose the picture that shows the answer to the question and draw a circle around it. What is the answer?


Yes, the second picture shows a bird. The story says that birds grow feathers.

The Fox and the Mouse

One day, Fox was trotting through the forest. He was looking for a mouse to eat. Suddenly—boing!—his paw got caught in a rope. The rope pulled, and Fox found himself hanging upside down! Fox tried to escape, but he could not. Soon, he started to cry. Before long, Mouse heard the crying and came out to see what was the matter. She saw Fox and got scared. But then she saw that he was caught in a rope and felt sorry for him. “Hello, Fox,” said Mouse. “Do you need some help?” Fox looked down and said, “What could you do to help me?” Mouse said, “I can gnaw through the rope. But you must promise not to eat me.” Fox thought for a moment and agreed. So Mouse got to work. She chewed and gnawed, gnawed and chewed. Finally, she chewed through the rope and Fox was free. “Now you must keep your promise,” said Mouse. Fox smiled and said, “Well, I am very hungry, but I made a promise and I will keep it. From now on, you and I are friends.” He reached out and shook paws with Mouse. “Thank you,” said Fox. “That was a brave thing to do.”

4 Point to number 4. Look at the pictures. What was Fox’s problem? Draw a circle around the picture that shows Fox’s problem.

5 Point to number 5. Look at the pictures. How did Mouse help Fox? Draw a circle around the picture that shows how Mouse helped Fox.

Neil at Night

Neil did not want to go to sleep. He did not like the dark. “Can I stay up and read one more story?” he asked. Mom said, “One more page, that’s all. Then you must turn out the light.” Neil read and read. He turned the page . . . and something amazing happened. A dragon popped out of the book. It sat on the foot of Neil’s bed. “Let’s go for a ride. Hop on,” said the dragon. Neil climbed on and they flew out into the night sky. All night long, they flew under the stars and saw many places. It was fun! As the night went on, Neil’s eyes felt heavy. “Good morning, sleepyhead,” said Mom as she woke Neil the next day. “I hope you didn’t stay up too late.” Neil said, “Well, maybe a little. But I’m not afraid of the dark anymore. I promise I’ll go right to sleep tonight!”

Your Own Library Card How can you go anywhere in the world without traveling from place to place? How can you explore space or the ocean without special tools or clothing? You can do all these things if you have a library card. It’s easy to get one, and it’s free. You just tell the librarian your name, and you fill out a form. An adult can help you with the form. Once you have your own library card, you can choose books to read. You can borrow movies and music, too. You can take books home for a week or more. When you finish, you take them back to the library. Then you can borrow more books. Having a library card lets you learn about lots of new things.

Happy New Year

Eddie sat at the table with his father. Papa said, “You haven’t been very nice to your sister or your mom lately, Eddie. Today is New Year’s Day. I hope you will turn over a new leaf this year.” Eddie was puzzled. He looked outside. “How can I turn over a new leaf?” he asked. “It’s winter. The trees don’t have leaves.” Papa laughed. He said, “ ‘Turning over a new leaf’ is a saying. It means making a big change, a good change. You may go play now,” said Papa. Eddie got drawing paper and crayons. He drew a leaf and colored it in. He handed the paper to Papa. As Papa reached for the paper, Eddie turned it over. “What are you doing, Eddie?” asked Papa. “I’m turning over a new leaf,” said Eddie. “That’s great!” said Papa. “Happy New Year, Eddie.”

Water, Water, Everywhere

One day in the winter, clouds start to form in the sky. The clouds get darker. Then it starts to rain. As the air gets colder, the rain turns to snow. Water on the ground turns to ice. Clouds, rain, snow, ice—how are all these things alike? They are all made of water. Water can take many forms. It can take the shape of anything that holds it. It can change from something wet to something cold and solid. It can melt again to form a puddle. Water can even change to become part of the air. You cannot see it when it is in this form. It can change back again to make tiny drops on the side of a cold glass. You can make water change form, too. Just put some water in the freezer. Check it in a few hours. It turns to ice. Leave it out for a while. It will melt once again. Where can you see water?

4 Point to number 4. Look at the pictures of rain, clouds, snow. In this story, what comes first in time order? Draw a circle around the picture of what comes first.

5 Point to number 5. Look at the pictures. Which picture shows water after you put it into a freezer for a few hours? Draw a circle around the picture that shows water a few hours after you put it into a freezer.

Comprehension


The Squeaky Wheel

Squeak, squeak, squeak. Eek, the pet mouse in Mrs. Wynn’s kindergarten room, was very noisy. Eek liked to run on his wheel all day long, and all day long the wheel squeaked. Mrs. Wynn said, “Children, Eek is too noisy. I’m afraid he’ll have to go.” The children were sad. They liked to pet Eek. They liked to feed him. Ruth raised her hand. She asked, “Could we put on our thinking caps? Maybe we can find a way to fix the problem.” Pete said, “We could get more toys. Then maybe Eek would play with something else.” Bree said, “We could cover the window near his cage with black construction paper. Then Eek would think it was night. Maybe he would sleep.” Then Ruth raised her hand. She said, “When we have something squeaky at home, my mom puts oil on it.” Mrs. Wynn said, “It’s worth a try.” She put oil on the squeaky wheel. The children waited. Eek ran on the wheel. It was quiet! “Ahhh,” said Mrs. Wynn, “peace at last!”

A Great Idea

About 100 years ago, the first cars began to share busy streets with horses and carriages. The drivers did not stop when they came to the corner. They just kept going. Many people had accidents this way. Garrett Morgan was an inventor. He opened a shop to fix broken things. He made several inventions. When Garrett drove around the city, he saw that the streets were not safe. People did not take turns or stop at the corners. Garrett saw an accident between a car and a horse. That gave him an idea. Garrett invented a stoplight. It showed people when to stop, when to go, and when to slow down. Soon many cities had stoplights. After that, people were much safer on the streets.
