Start of Year Spelling Assessment Test B

The Start of Year Spelling Assessment Test B is a valuable tool for gauging the spelling abilities of Year 6 students. This test requires students to listen attentively as their teacher reads out sentences, each with a missing word that the students must identify and spell correctly. The assessment is designed to be conducted in a controlled environment where students write the missing words on provided lines without the opportunity to consult with their peers.

The test is structured into two pages, with the first ten sentences on page 2 and the subsequent ten on page 3. Each sentence is crafted to include a word that the students must spell, serving both as a test of their listening comprehension and their spelling proficiency. The words range in difficulty and are intended to reflect the vocabulary level appropriate for Year 6 students. Upon completion of the test, students' marks are tallied across both pages to determine their total score. This assessment is an effective way for teachers to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement in their students' spelling capabilities at the beginning of the academic year.
