Benchmarks Assessment System (BAS) Editable Presentation and Handouts

This 87 slide editable presentation on the administration of the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System (BAS), 2nd Edition will be invaluable if you need to give a workshop to teachers in your school. Alternatively, this presentation would be extremely useful for any teacher who needs to know how the BAS operates. This product has been trialled and tested as I have presented it to teachers at my school and the feedback I received was nothing but positive as they remarked on the clarity and ease of use.

As the presentation is editable, you can edit it to incorporate the latest version.

The editable ppt presentation features the following:

• An introduction outlining what the BAS is and its purpose.

• About the Where-to-Start Word Test and its practical application.

• A detailed step-by-step process to administer, code, and score a Benchmark Assessment Conference. This includes the steps in a Running Record and Comprehension Conversation. The information pertains to the type of errors and self-corrections as well as a detailed explanation of the miscues analysis.

• A Practice Test at level T(fiction) for teachers to practice coding, scoring, and analyzing errors and self-corrections. The test features most of the errors outlined in the system and needs to be read out observing the same. A completed version of the test form is provided for teachers to check back on the PowerPoint.

• Over 20 tips and points to remember.

• Information on completing the Assessment Summary Form and the Class Record.

Also Included

• Benchmark Assessment 13-step administration guide.
• Benchmark Assessment Kit 1 and 2 Request Form.
• Teacher Attendance Record Form. Useful if Certificates of Attendance are to be given out.

• Fountas and Pinnell Assessment Summary Form, Class Record Form, Coding Guide, Finding Texts, Reading Behavior Guide, Scoring Analysis, Text Gradient, Where-to-Start-Word Test, Sample Analysis, Recording Forms for all levels (A-Z). I generally color code the forms by photocopying on colored paper, except of course the recording forms for all levels and Word Test. Teachers have commented on the thoughtfulness and relative ease of differentiation.

• Sample Class Record Summary Form and Template.

The above are conveniently located in marked folders for easy reference.

Please read the notes pane of each slide as it contains important information on the topic discussed.
