Rimes Assessment
Teacher Notes
The purpose of this “whole class” assessment is to determine which common rimesstudents can and cannot accurately read. Although, the test actually determines word recognition,rather than pronunciation, the correlation between the two is statistically significant and theresults are valid and prescriptive. In other words, teachers can reliably use this diagnostic data toeffectively differentiate instruction.
Directions
Pass out the
Rimes Assessment
to students. Say–“This is a short test to see if you can identifythe word parts I say out loud. Listen carefully because I won’t repeat the word parts after the testis finished. On your test, find the first row of four word parts [Pause]. Fill in the capital letter that best matches the word part I say.” Let’s start with Number One. Ready? Number One is
ack 
(repeat twice more).” Follow this script for the rest of the test. Follow this script for the rest of the test.Once the assessments have been scored using the Teacher Answer Key, the number of unmastered rimes should be recorded in the Rimes Pre-test column on the
PhonemicAwareness, Phonics, Sight Words, and Fluency Mastery Matrix
for each student.
Helpful Hints
•
 
Do not elongate any sounds.
•
 
Keep a consistent pace of about five seconds per test item–any longer and students willlose their place or begin daydreaming.
•
 
After the first three items, walk around the class to ensure that students are circling byrow and not by column.Find these multiple choice reading assessments and many others on two CDs, blending andsyllabication activities, phonemic awareness and phonics workshops, comprehensionworksheets, multi-level fluency passages on eight CDs, 390 flashcards, posters, games, and moreto differentiate reading instruction in the comprehensive Teaching Reading Strategies atwww.penningtonpublishiing.com.
