I am all about Google forms!!!  I used to do my letter assessments with paper but once I discovered Google forms, I rethought all my paper assessments within the classroom and once I figured out how to insert images into Google forms (very easy by the way), I created a Google form for my letter assessments and I was blown away at the ease of the assessment process.  I sue a Samsung Tab A with an S-Pen in my classroom and my students thought it was really cool to see the letters on the tablet.  The benefit of using Google forms is that all the data I am collecting on my students goes straight into a Google sheet which allows me to show my data in various ways such as pie charts or bar graphs.  AND it allows me to save on paper!!! I have put these assessments into a package for my TPT store and Teachery shop.  Below give you a little look into the package. I cannot say enough about Google forms and how it has transformed my assessment within my classr

Every year I try to revamp my tracking system of my students and their letter identification and to try to make it more efficient for me.  I came up with this sheet and I have found it to be more efficient last year and easy to see my students improvement in their letter recognition.  My running records and other student assessments are in one big binder with each student having their own section (I use dividers).  I photocopy the lower and upper case identification recording sheet for each student and place it the binder.  I then laminate the Upper and Lower Case Identification Sheet and have the students read off that sheet while I record on mine.  You could give each student a cue card with a hole cut in the middle so they can focus on one letter at a time.  I also use a different coloured pen/maker for each month.  I have also included another tracking sheet where you can record both letter identification and letter sound recognition.  You can download the sheets below: Letter Id
