Start of Year Spelling Assessment Test C

The Start of Year Spelling Assessment Test C is a structured evaluation designed for Year 3 students to gauge their spelling proficiency at the beginning of the academic year. The test comprises a series of sentences with missing words that the children are required to listen to and fill in as read aloud by their teacher. Each sentence is repeated to ensure clarity, and the missing word is emphasized to assist the pupils in accurately identifying the word that needs to be spelled. Students are instructed to write the missing word on the provided line and are reminded to keep their answers private, refraining from showing their sheet to peers.

The assessment is divided into two pages, with the first page containing sentences 1 to 10 and the second page featuring sentences 11 to 20. Each page has a section for marking the scores, allowing for a clear and organized way to tally the results. The sentences are crafted to cover a range of common words appropriate for the Year 3 level, including adjectives, verbs, and nouns. Examples include comparative adjectives, action verbs, and words related to everyday activities and emotions. The total marks from both pages are combined to give a final score, which helps teachers understand each student's spelling abilities and identify areas that may need further attention or improvement.
