You asked, I answered. This resource is a result of multiple requests from 8th grade teachers that have been using the 8th Grade ELA Daily Review. These teachers wanted a way to assess the skills practiced throughout the week.

These weekly assessments are a companion for the 8th Grade ELA Daily Review. The daily review is available in an ELA bundle. Click the link below to view the bundle.

>> 8th Grade ELA Daily Review

>> 8th Grade ELA Weekly Assessment Free Week

The ELA daily review covers critical language, grammar, and comprehension skills over the year. The suggested way to use this resource is by reviewing the skills throughout the week with the morning work, and then giving the assessment on Friday for a weekly quiz grade.

Not only will this hold your students accountable, but this also serves as a gauge for students' learning. Plus, it's a consistent weekly quiz grade with a streamlined answer key to be easy on your teacher eyes!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email me at help@theliteracyloft.com

Happy Teaching!
Jessica

Fantastic Resource — Grade level perfect

I teach at a private academy & want to keep my students lined out with national standards. I love this resource & use it daily. We are usually moving at the exact same pace as this resource does (in area of focus). It’s a perfect review of previously taught concepts & skills. I love that there is an assessment as well. I find this so much easier to grade than taking up journals or binders. If the students have been engaged throughout the week, they ace the assessments. I am so thankful for this resource and so happy that I found it over summer! It is masterfully done.
