About this resource

What's inside this resource

Upper- and lower-case letter recognition, letter sounds, number recognition, and counting are each tracked across six dated rows on a set of formative-assessment recording sheets meant to be filled in repeatedly over the school year. Separate pages record a student's progress identifying a scrambled upper-case alphabet, a scrambled lower-case alphabet, all 26 letter sounds in order, scrambled numbers 1 through 20, counting objects out of a total of 20, reading number words one through ten, and counting aloud by 1s, 5s, and 10s, with a blank line after each row for the date and result. No questions, images, or answer key appear; the pages function purely as a teacher's ongoing observation and data-tracking tool for kindergarten readiness skills.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Administer each page as a one-on-one check rather than a whole-class worksheet, since it records individual student performance

  • Reuse the same page across the six dated rows to build a simple progress record for each student over the year

  • Keep results in a student's individual folder to inform small-group instruction planning

Skills covered

  • Formative data collection — teachers record a kindergarten student's letter, sound, and number recognition results across repeated dated checkpoints.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How is the file meant to be reused across the school year?

Each skill page repeats the same task, such as the same scrambled upper-case alphabet, across six dated rows, so a teacher can administer it repeatedly over the year and compare a student's results over time.
