6Alabama Alternate Assessment
- Alignment determined.
- Complexity Points awarded based on the
complexity of the extended standard - Level of Support Points awarded based on the
level of assistance (Independently, with
Prompting, with Support) - Content Mastery
- 0 points for 0-24 mastery
- 1 point for 25-49 mastery
- 2 points for 50-74 mastery
- 3 points for 75-100 mastery
- Assessment and Accountability, ALSDE, Regional
- Workshops, Fall 2007
7Level of Support
- Independently-the student performs the task
without prompting or support. The cognition of
the task is performed entirely by the student. - Prompting-the student is provided cues by the
teacher or aide (oral cues, repeat or additional
directions, and/or gestures that initiate or
sustain a task). The cognition of the task is
performed entirely by the student. - Support-the student receives direct instruction
to achieve the skill. The cognition of the task
is not performed by the student alone however,
the task is not completed by the teacher. This
assistance is more than prompting. - Assessment and Accountability, ALSDE, Alabama

- Examples
- Student is supposed to identify main character
main character is the one word story title in all
pieces of evidence. - Correct answer is always in same location (e.g.,
10 multiple choice questions with correct answer
always on left). - Performance Summaries across multiple students
with the same wording, same exact student
responses, etc.
20READINGGrades K-6

- Instructional Suggestion
- Show pictures of book, dog, hand, and fox.
-
- This is book, dog, hand, and fox.
- Which picture begins with /b/?
- 1.1
30Match Sounds and Letters
- Phoneme a phoneme is the most basic unit of
sound. - Grapheme a grapheme is the written
representation of a phoneme. A grapheme can
consist of one, two, and rarely three or four
letters. - The sound /k/ can be represented by the letters
C, K, or CK as in cat, kite, and duck. - 1.2
31Match Sounds and Letters
- Instructional Suggestions
- Take egg cartons and put a paper letter in each
slot. Say letter-sounds and ask students to pick
out the letters that match those sounds - http//www.readingrockets.org/article/160
- 1.2
32Sort Picture Cards into Given Categories
- Categorizing involves grouping objects or
- ideas according to criteria that describe
- common features or the relationships among
- all members of that group. This procedure
- enables students to see patterns and
- connections and it develops students' abilities
- to manage or organize information.
- 1.3
33Teaching Categories
- Focus on concrete objects
- Provide the criteria by which objects are to be
grouped such as size, color, shape or use - Encourage students to explain their reasons for
placing items in particular categories - Ensure that all students see and understand the
relationships - Encourage students to question each other's
categorizations - 1.3
34Teaching Categories
- Procedure continued
- Provide opportunities for students to categorize
their objects according to criteria of their
choosing - Demonstrate this strategy with the whole class,
then progress to small group and individual
categorizing activities - Move students from categorizing concrete objects
to categorizing pictures - http//www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/docs/kindergarten/kind
app.html - 1.3
35Who, What, and Where Questions
- The answers to questions such as who, what
and where are parts of story structure. By
identifying these basic structures it will help a
student be able to recall or retell a story. - 1.4
36Who, What, and Where Questions
Question Word Function Example
What Asking for information about something What did the dog do?
Who Asking what person or which people Who opened the door?
Where Asking in or at what place or position Where did the boy lose the dog?
- http//www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/wh-question-
words.htm - 1.4
37High Frequency Words
- A word that appears many more times
- than most other words in spoken or written
- language.
- Many of these words such as the, is, to, and are
do not follow commonly taught phonics rules and
cannot be sounded out. - http//www.reading-tutors.com/tips/TH_Tips_HFW.pdf
- Dolch
- Frys 300
- 1.5 2.5
38Initial Sound / Final Sound
- Initial
- The first sound you hear in the beginning of a
word. - Final
- The last sound you hear at the end of a word.
- Example boat
- Initial sound /b/
- Final sound /t/
- 2.1
39Isolate
- The ability to recognize individual sounds in a
word. - Example of initial isolation
- Teacher What is the first sound in van?
- Student The first sound in van is /v/.
- Example of final isolation
- Teacher What is the last sound in top?
- Student The last sound in top is /p/.
- 2.1
40Consonant Sounds
- The word consonant is used to refer to a letter
of an alphabet that denotes a consonant sound.
Consonant letters in the English alphabet are B,
C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V,
X, Z, and usually W and Y - The letter Y stands for the consonant j in
yoke, and for the vowel ? in myth - Y also commonly makes the long i and e sounds
- W is almost always a consonant except in rare
words. - 2.2
41Vowel Sounds
- Some Generalizations about English vowels
- English vowels have "long" and "short" forms.
- The long form is the "name" of the letter
- The short form is as follows
-
- 2.2
Long Vowels Long Vowels
A E I O U gate need nice yoke you
Short Vowels Short Vowels
a e i o u bat bet bit bot but
42Real Life Objects Actions
43Real Life Objects Actions
- What is this?
- Tell me what you do with this.
- 2.3
44Events / Sequence
- Sequencing is one of many skills that contributes
to students' ability to comprehend what they
read. Sequencing refers to the identification of
the components of a story, such as the beginning,
middle, and end, and also to the ability to
retell the events within a given text in the
order in which they occurred. - http//www.teachervision.fen.com/skill-builder/rea
ding-comprehension/48779.html - 2.4
45Blend (one-syllable words)
- Blend to draw individual sounds together to
pronounce a word, - Example c-a-p,
- blended together, reads cap
- 3.1
462 3 Letter Blends
- When two or more letters appear together and you
hear each sound that each consonant would
normally make, the combination is called a blend.
- For instance, the word blend has two consonant
blends bl, for which you hear the sounds for
both b and l, and nd, for which you hear the
sounds for both n and d. - 3.2
47READ (one-syllable words)
- See sample list of one-syllable words.
- 3.3
48Context Clues
- The first step to learning how to use context
clues is to understand what they are. The meaning
of the phrase is easy context are the words
surrounding the particular word in question, and
of course clues are supposed to help you figure
out the mystery of the word in question. - The value of context clues lies in the ability to
figure out the definition without using a
dictionary. This is important especially for
teachers who want to instill in their students a
sense of independence in learning. - http//www.helium.com/items/1833465-how-to-teach-c

wonderful, yummy lunch to school. (example) - My mother used to pull across the bay to catch
flounder. Pull is a word that is sometimes used
to mean row. (explanation) - http//www.suite101.com/content/context-clues-less
on-plan-a88326 - 3.4
52Retell / Beginning and End
- Story Retelling is a procedure that enables a
child to play a large role in reconstructing
stories. It underlies both social and academic
development. When narrating stories, the speaker
uses language for an extended period of time.
This active participation with stories results in
increased language development, comprehension and
an interest in books and in learning to read. - http//www.bridgew.us/Library/CAGS_Projects/TPALIN
GO/web20page/srlitrev.htm - 3.5
53Blend Segment
- Blend Refer to 3.1
- Segment to split up a word into its individual
phonemes in order to spell it, - Example the word 'cat' has three phonemes /c/,
/a/, /t/ - 4.1
54Vocabulary / Simple Sentences
- Perhaps the greatest tools we can give
- students for succeeding, not only in their
- education but more generally in life, is a
- large, rich vocabulary and the skills for
- using those words. Our ability to function
- in todays complex social and economic
- worlds is mightily affected by our language
- skills and word knowledge.
- http//www.eduplace.com/marketing/nc/pdf/author_pa
ges.pdf - 4.2
55Vocabulary / Simple Sentences
- In addition to the vital importance of
- vocabulary for success in life, a large
- vocabulary is more specifically
- predictive and reflective of high levels
- of reading achievement.
- http//www.eduplace.com/marketing/nc/pdf/author_pa
ges.pdf - 4.2
56Synonyms
- Synonyms are different words with identical or at
least similar meanings. - An example of synonyms are the words car and
automobile. - 4.3
57Main Character
- A main character is the central character of the
story, the one that the reader follows through
the story or account. The main character is
usually involved in the problems of the tale, the
climax, and its resolution. -
- 4.4
58Important Details
- Important details are used to support the main
idea. - Details add description to a story.
- Details support the main idea by telling how,
what, when, where, why, how much, or how many. - 4.4
59Consonant Blends / Letter Combinations
- A consonant blend is a group of consonants that
appear together in a word without any vowels
between them. - When reading blends, each letter within the
blend is pronounced individually. - 4.5
60Consonant Blends / Letter Combinations
- Letter combinations are a series of letters whose
sound would not be produced correctly by a
student pronouncing one letter sound at a time. - Letter combinations include digraphs, diphthongs,
r-controlled vowels, etc., but do not include
blends such as gr and bl. - http//www.freereading.net/index.php?titleLetter_

literature which deals, in part or in whole, with
events that are not true at the time of writing. - In contrast to this is non-fiction, which deals
exclusively in factual events (e.g., biographies,
histories). Books that are non-fiction, or true,
are about real things, people, events, and
places. - 6.1

- Each tally mark in a tally chart represents one
object. For example, to count three apples, you
make three tally marks in the chart. - Tally marks are grouped in sets of five, which
facilitates counting. Instead of counting marks
one-by-one, you can skip-count by fives and add
on any remaining marks. - Have students practice counting objects in class
or home by using tally marks. Then practice
skip-counting by fives in order to get your
students familiar with multiples of five - 6.4

112Features of Earths Surface
- Globe bodies of water and land masses
- Map rivers, lakes, and oceans
- 2.3
113Sun
- Light and Heat
- The sun warms our planet every day, provides the
light by which we see and is necessary for life
on Earth. - 3.1
114Life Cycle of Plant
- Seed when the seed is dormant (i.e., inactive or
sleeping) - Seed germination the process in which a plant
emerges from a seed and begins growth. Seeds need
oxygen, water, and proper temperatures to
germinate. - Growth After the plant sprouts from the seed, it
starts to grow. The growth and development of a
plant is one of the most spectacular events in
nature. Yet, because it happens so slowly, over
the course of days or weeks, it is difficult to
observe in real time. - 3.2
115Response to Weather
- Thunderstorms
- Tornado
- Hurricanes
- 3.3
116Electrical Objects
117Plants Animals Help Each Other
- Plants help animals by providing them with food,
shelter, building materials, places to hide and
air to breath. - Plants produce chemicals and fibers used in
industry. - Plants produce nearly half of all the medicines
used to treat diseases. - The remains of ancient plants is the source of
fossil fuels such as coal and gas. - Animals help plants by pollinating them,
distributing their seeds, and providing
fertilizer for the soil. - Some plants grow better after being grazed on.
- 4.2
118Solar System
119Chemical Change
- A physical change in a substance doesn't change
what the substance is. In a chemical change there
is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed
and energy is either given off or absorbed. - For example, if a piece of paper is cut up into
small pieces it still is paper. This would be a
physical change in the shape and size of the
paper. If the same piece of paper is burned, it
is broken up into different substances that are
not paper. - 5.1
120Chemical Change
- Physical changes can be reversed, chemical
changes cannot be reversed with the substance
changed back without extraordinary means, if at
all. For example, a cup of water can be frozen
when cooled and then can be returned to a liquid
form when heated. - If one decided to mix sugar into water to make
sugar water, this would be a physical change as
the water could be left out to evaporate and the
sugar crystals would remain. However, if one made
a recipe for a cake with flour, water, sugar and
other ingredients and baked them together, it
would take extraordinary means to separate the
various ingredients out to their original form. - 5.1
121Chemical Change
- Examples of Chemical Changes
- Burning a log of wood
- Cooking examples popcorn, cake, pancakes, eggs,
toast, caramel icing - Rotting of fruit
- Explosion of fireworks
- Lighting a match
- Digesting food
- Rusting nail
- Roasting a marshmallow
- 5.1
122Plants Animals in a Habitat
- Habitat
- A place where plants and animals live and grow
- Animals get food, water, and shelter in their
habitat - Plants get sunlight and water in their habitat
- 5.2
123Plants Animals in a Habitat
- Dependent on each other within a habitat.
- Field/Park/Backyard Grasshoppers eat grass
- Forest/Backyard Birds nest in trees
- Forest/Park/Backyard Squirrels eat acorns
- Forest/Field Animals eat leaves and berries

124Plants Animals in a Habitat
- Dependent on each other within a habitat.
- Field/Garden/Along Road Monarch butterflies lay
eggs on milkweed, larvae feed on the milkweed
leaves - Garden/Backyard/Park Adult monarch butterflies
pollinate flowers - Forest/Backyard/Field Earthworms eat dirt and
dead leaves, digesting the material for food and
in the process breaking down the organic matter
and releasing nutrients in the soil - Forest/Field Deer eat plants

125Plants Animals in a Habitat
- Dependent on each other within a habitat.
- Desert Plants in the desert help animals stay
out of the sun - Desert Plants in the desert, such as the cactus,
save water for animals - Field/Forest/Coastal Area Some animals get seeds
from plants stuck on their fur and move the seed
to a different place so plants are spread - Lake/Swamp/Pond Insects eat plants that float on
ponds - 5.2
1264 Planets Closest to the Sun
- The first four planets are called the inner
planets. - They are closest to the sun.
- Their names are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
- These planets are made mostly of rock.

127Identify Weather ConditionsUsing Instrument or
Technology
- A THERMOMETER measures the air temperature. Most
thermometers are closed glass tubes containing
liquids such as alcohol or mercury. When air
around the tube heats the liquid, the liquid
expands and moves up the tube. A scale then shows
what the actual temperature is. - 6.1
128Identify Weather ConditionsUsing Instrument or
Technology
- A BAROMETER measures air pressure. It tells you
whether or not the pressure is rising or falling.
A rising barometer means sunny and dry
conditions, while a falling barometer means
stormy and wet conditions. An Italian scientist
named Torricelli built the first barometer in
1643. - 6.1
129Identify Weather ConditionsUsing Instrument or
Technology
- A RAIN GAUGE measures the amount of rain that has
fallen over a specific time period. - A WIND VANE is an instrument that determines the
direction from which the wind is blowing. - An ANEMOMETER measures wind speed. The cups catch
the wind, turning a dial attached to the
instrument. The dial shows the wind speed. - 6.1
130Identify Weather ConditionsUsing Instrument or
Technology
- WEATHER MAPS indicate atmospheric conditions
above a large portion of the Earth's surface.
Meteorologists use weather maps to forecast the
weather. - http//www.weatherwizkids.com/weather-instruments.

131Changes in Earths Surface
- Newer human impacts to the earths surface are
more and more damaging. Landscape is wounded with
newer and bigger structures and other
irreversible interventions to the earths
surface. - http//carsologica.zrc-sazu.si/?strandownloadsdo

135Changes in Earths Surface
- Hurricanes
- Damage from hurricanes and tropical storms is
usually the result of strong winds, storm surges,
or heavy rain. Winds of over 100 miles per hour
can tear roofs off of houses or knock trees down.
Heavy rain can ruin crops, damage buildings,
cause flash flooding, and spark deadly
landslides. - http//www.learner.org/interactives/weather/storms

138Changes in Earths Surface
- Erosion
- Erosion is the process by which weathered rock
and soil are moved from one place to another.
Erosion carves the Earth's surface creating
canyons, gorges, and even beaches. There are five
agents of erosion - Gravity (constant pulling on all matter on Earth)
- Running water (rivers and streams)
- Wind
- Glaciers
- Waves
