Start of Year Spelling Assessment Test B

The "Start of Year Spelling Assessment Test B" is a tool designed for Year 4 students to evaluate their spelling skills at the beginning of the academic year. The test comprises a series of sentences with missing words that the students must listen to and then fill in the blanks as read by their teacher. This assessment is conducted under specific instructions where the teacher will repeat each sentence and the missing word to ensure clarity. Students are advised to focus and write the correct spelling of the word on the provided line without sharing their answers with peers.

The test is divided into two pages, with the first page containing sentences 1 to 10 and the second page listing sentences 11 to 20. Each sentence is designed to assess the student's ability to spell a particular word correctly within the context of the sentence. The assessment covers a range of words, testing various aspects of spelling knowledge including homophones, commonly confused words, and vocabulary appropriate for the Year 4 level. Marks are allocated for each correct spelling and are recorded on the respective pages, with a section at the end of the test for tallying the total marks. This structured approach helps teachers identify areas where students may need further assistance and provides a baseline for tracking progress throughout the year.
