“What assessments do your children do?” “How do you know that your child is on par with his peers?” These are questions we get a lot as homeschoolers.
We personally use online schooling for our children now. We use CTCMath and Khan Academy for English and Science. These platforms assess the children as they go. The rest of the subjects we follow the children’s interests. There are tons of free resources online to pull worksheets from, thankfully.
Below are some free assessments you can use to track your child’s progress.
Fry Word Tracking for Students from The Curriculum Corner
These free progress monitoring pages for Fry word tracking are designed to help you track student sight word progress in your classroom.
Pre-K Assessment Forms from PreKinders
Alphabet Assessment
You can either mark through the letters the children know with a highlighter or make a checkmark beside the letters with a pen. Use a different color highlighter or different color pen for each semester’s assessment. You can use this one sheet for a child for the whole year, and show a comparison of their progress with the different colors.
Math Assessment
Use the colored highlighters or pens mentioned above on this sheet also. For the color assessment, show children pieces of construction paper. I cut them into squares about 4 inches and staple them into a flip book. For the counting assessment, I have children count Unifix cubes.

Multiple Intelligences Survey for Kids (Free) from Laura Candler on Teachers Pay Teachers
Learning about multiple intelligence theory can be very empowering for students, especially when you administer a survey to help them discover their own strengths and growth areas. Because most online survey tools are too long and complex for kids, I created this quick and easy classroom version for my students. I included an example of a completed survey on page 4 so you can see how it works.
How to Use this Survey to Foster a Growth Mindset
Before you use this survey, please watch my free MI Survey for Kids Video to find out how to administer it and score it. In the video, I also explain how to use the survey to foster a growth mindset in your students.
