Spelling Diagnostic Test

So first of all, take a sheet of paper just a regular line sheet of paper. I want you to fold that paper in half. And by the way, this will be a format will be using throughout the year. So learning to do it right will help you with every quiz you take. In the top left hand corner at the top, write your name, write your full name first and last name, always use your full name. Underneath that, write your grade level so you can put 7th grade language arts, 8th grade language arts. If you want to put 9th, our English one that's acceptable, tenth, our English two, 11th, or 12th, our English three, four, that is acceptable as well. For this particular test, I want you to write down spelling, diagnostic test, and I want you to write number two, even though this example says one right number two. And then I want you to start over here, and I want you to number your page one through 25, and then on this side of the crease where you folded it, I want you to write 26 through 50. Okay? I didn't take time to write all those, but I want you to do that. I'm going to continue, but you can pause this, recording until you get that done. Okay?

Write it down, and then we'll keep going. I may, I'll move faster than I would in class since you can pause this to take time to write the word. When we're done, I want you to go back and I will spell the words, and I want you to grade your test. And I want you to write at the top, how many you got right. Okay, ready? All right. Let's go.
