The Developmental Spelling Test: Monitoring Phonics Instruction
The Developmental Spelling Test is a way for us to check in on the outcomes from our phonics instruction. There is already a Developmental Spelling Test within the transitional assessment – but we don’t want to use this too frequently as students will learn the test.
Overall Information
The Developmental Spelling Test is from Richard Gentry and is called the Monster Test. You can access it from https://jrichardgentry.com/monster-test.html.
I have put the unaltered version of the Monster Test below. In addition I have put a version that I modified the scoring on for students where we are using Developmental Spelling as a measurable goal.
