** To increase contextual comprehension, the pre-assessment is written in narrative. The FREE post-assessment is the narrative conclusion to the story. It is highly recommended teachers use both the Pre and Post assessment.
Teaching Parts of Speech is so important as it creates common language for reading and writing between a teacher and student.
I've successfully used a pre/post assessment in my Parts of Speech unit that doesn't involve drill and kill. Rather, I've written a very short story that kids can demonstrate their understanding in context.
I don't hear groaning or whining during these pre/post assessments. I hear silence as kids are engaged in reading and thinking.

This was a wonderful tool for reviewing parts of speech. I broke it into four assignments and used it to reinforce review lessons I gave my class at the beginning of the year. I loved its creativity and format; my only problem with it was that the style and grammar of the writing was below par. I had to rewrite almost every paragraph to remove awkward construction and poor grammar. I couldn't see giving my students a poorly-written piece to teach them parts of speech, even though these paragraphs do cover that aspect well.

Hi. The post assessment for parts of speech is listed on the Teachers Pay Teachers website as "Parts of Speech, Post-Assessment". You can do a search by that title or under my seller name, Patrick Johnson.
