5th Grade English Language Arts Assessments and Teaching Notes

FINALLLYYYYYYY!!!!!  Eight months my friends. Eight months of laboring over this resource and giving it my blood, sweat, and literally LOTS of tears to make it perfect for all of you (for those of you that have labored a real, live, human being, my hats go off to you ALL, as I am not there yet and know that creating an ELA Assessment is not the same!).

This assessment has been through my engagement, multiple holidays, and even survived a move! ;) It is classroom tested by a few different classroom teachers in order to make it even more perfect for you!

Without further ado… here she is in her 400+ page glory! CLICK HERE or the button at the bottom of this post to check out a closer and more detailed preview!

I’ve decided to create a 30+ page preview so that you can really see what is in this assessment.

Below are a few snapshots of the preview pages so you can see what is included. Some of the pictures here may seem a bit blurry because of the transfer of “snapshot” to blog. Click HERE to see a closer view!

All standards are assessed, even the super tricky Speaking and Listening, which hopefully won’t be as tricky with how I break them down.

First up:
Next up…Reading Informational:

Next is writing. I have included assessments for both the main standards (think 5.W.1, 5.W.2, 5.W.3, and all substandards 5.W.1a, 5.W.1b, etc.).

Language standards:
Reading Foundational Skills:

And last, Speaking and Listening:
And there you have it! Please know that this is a snapshot of the preview in which you can download and see closer HERE or by clicking the button below. Also, please know that this is only a preview of the 400+ pages included!

I will be blogging about these assessments in detail, since my students have been using them, in hopes that it helps many of you ease into assessing and tracking your students ELA data with my Student Data Tracking Binders.

    Don’t forget the great things you’ve done with math! Sixth grade math, sixth grade math!

  17. This is amazing. I am wondering if I could download it and enter in 7th grade standards instead of 5th.

  18. @Ms. Liz it isn’t editable. Sorry!

    @Addrianne you can find it in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store! Thanks!

    I absolutely love your products and they have helped so much! We are currently creating our 4th grade ELA units and assessments and I don’t know how you can do more than one grade! I am so overwhelmed! I am patiently waiting for the 4th grade ELA to hit your store! Again, thanks for putting this out there to help the rest of us!

    This is amazing, to say the very least!

  21. This is seriously amazing. I am using your ELA and math data binder packs with my fourth graders this year, and I just downloaded your fourth grade math CCSS assessments. I seriously check your TPT store everyday for the fourth grade ELA assessments I know are coming… It will make my upcoming school year so much more organized and effective. You are unbelievable! Thank you!

  22. Aw thank you SO much Krista!! That is SO kind of you! The good thing about 4th grade ELA assessments vs. 5th is at least 4th grade are not taking 8 months!!! ;) I PROMISE they should be out any time now, as I am running through my final stage of edits!

  23. Can’t wait until the 4th grade ELA assessments are out. .I’ve been checking daily! Hopefully it’s soon! Thanks for all your hard work!
