1 3rd Grade Maze Probe 6 Assessor Directions Standard Administration Directions 1. Write/Type the following sentence on the board: When it is hot in the (summer, winter, can), I like to go swimming. 2. Say to students: You will need a pencil. I will pass out the Maze assessment face down. Please do not turn the paper face up until I ask you to turn it over. Please put your first and last name and teacher s name on the back of the paper. 3. Say to students: You will be doing some reading today. You will be asked to read a passage silently to yourself. When you come to three words that are bold and in parenthesis, you will circle the word that makes sense. Make sure that you CIRCLE the word that best fits. 4. Using the example sentence on the board, Say: Look at the example sentence on the board. This is one sentence that would be in an entire reading passage. It says, When it is hot in the BLANK, I like to go swimming. The three words that are bold and in parenthesis are: (summer, winter, can). What word would you circle? Yes, the word that makes the most sense is SUMMER. Read the entire sentence correctly. When it is hot in the summer, I like to go swimming. Model and emphasize that you CIRCLE the correct word, summer. 5. Say: You will have three minutes to read the passage and CIRCLE the correct word for each set inside the parenthesis. Please start at the beginning of the passage and circle the words that make sense. If you finish the first page, turn your paper to page 2 and continue working. Say: Are there any questions? 6. Set a timer for 3 minutes. 7. Say: Please turn your paper over. The title of the passage is Dinner for Everyone. 8. Say: You may BEGIN. Start the timer. 9. When the timer rings, say: Stop working please. Hold your paper in the air to be collected. Collect all the papers and thank the students for being wonderful test takers. 10. Use the Assessor Copy for scoring: Maze Comprehension Scoring Guidelines For Assessor Use Count each word that is circled correctly as 1 point. If a child misses 3 words in a row, DO NOT count any correct responses after the 3 consecutive incorrect answers. Add score to the GRASP database.
