|
Material Required |
∙ Same assessment sheets used in the baseline (now modified slightly for midline, reflecting more practice). ∙ Pencils and erasers. ∙ Flashcards (optional, for the speaking task). |
|
Methodology |
∙ A non-stressful, supportive assessment session where students will complete tasks involving reading, writing, and speaking. ∙Emphasize the learning process and progress, ensuring that students feel motivated and confident. |
Session Plan 90 Min
Intro Activity
Introduction to the Midline Assessment:
-
Greet the students warmly and explain that today’s session is a "midway check-in" to see how much they’ve learned since the baseline assessment.
-
Reassure students that this is not a test but a way to celebrate their progress and identify areas they may still need some practice in.
-
Let students know they’ll be completing the same tasks as in the baseline (reading, writing, and speaking) but with more focus on what they’ve learned so far.
Main Topic/ Activity
∙ Hand out the midline assessment sheets:
-
∙ Use the same assessment format as the baseline, but this time, make slight adjustments to ensure it reflects the students' progress.
-
For example, you could add a few slightly more complex questions or tasks to assess their advancement (e.g., introducing a few more words to spell, slightly more complex sentence structures to write, or more varied questions to answer orally).
Example questions for the midline assessment:
-
Write the words ‘cat’, ‘dog’, ‘sun’, and ‘mat’.
-
Read the sentence: "I like to play with my cat."
-
Answer the question: "What is your favorite food?"
-
Draw a picture of an object that starts with the letter ‘B’ (e.g., "ball" or "bird").
-
Write the sentence: "I see a dog."
∙ Reading Task:
-
∙ Read each task aloud, just like in the baseline, and allow students time to write or respond.
-
For example, ask them to read the word or short sentence aloud, like "I like to play" or "sun."
∙ Writing Task:
-
∙Ask students to write simple sentences or words, encouraging them to apply what they’ve learned about blending sounds and forming words.
-
Example: "Write the word ‘mat’" or "Write the sentence ‘I like to play with my dog.’"
-
This will show how well they can apply their learned skills in writing.
∙ Speaking Task:
-
∙ Ask students to read the words or short sentences aloud (e.g., “I see a dog.” or “I like ice cream.”).
-
They can also answer basic questions orally, just as they did in the baseline, but now with slightly more complexity in the questions.
-
Example: “What do you like to do after school?” or “What is your favorite animal?”
∙ Wrap-Up (Review of Tasks):
-
∙ Once students finish, allow them to hand in their sheets.
-
Offer encouragement and praise for their efforts throughout the session. Remind them that the goal was to show how much they’ve learned, not to “get everything perfect.
Expected Learning Outcome:
Knowledge building-Skill Building-
Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks
∙ Reflection on the Midline Assessment:
-
∙ Ask students to reflect on how they felt about the session.
-
Example questions:

“How did you feel when you were reading the words?”
-
“Was writing the sentence easier or harder than before?”
-
“What did you enjoy the most about today’s activity?”
-
Help them identify areas where they felt confident and areas, they found challenging.
∙ Feedback to Students:
-
∙ Give individual feedback based on their progress from the baseline.
-
Celebrate their strengths and encourage them by pointing out areas for continued practice.
-
Example: “You did a great job writing the word ‘dog’! Next, let’s practice writing words with more letters.”
Follow up Tasks
∙Teacher’s Reflection:
-
Review the midline assessment sheets and compare the results with the baseline to see students' progress.
-
Identify patterns of improvement or areas where students still need further practice (e.g., specific sounds, blending words, or writing more complex sentences).
∙ Providing Feedback to Students:
-
∙ Offer feedback during the next lesson, praising their growth since the baseline and identifying key areas for further development.
-
Use the insights from the midline assessment to plan focused activities for future lessons that target areas where students need more practice.
∙ Next Session Focus:
-
∙ In the next lesson, provide activities and tasks that reinforce the areas identified in the assessment as needing attention (e.g., blending, pronunciation, writing).
-
