Grammar and Sentence Structure II Progress Monitoring Probes Bundle

About this resource

Eight sentence-structure IEP goals — appositive phrases, parallel structure, semicolon and colon usage, active and passive voice, independent and dependent clauses, double negatives, helping and linking verbs, and apostrophes (contraction or possessive) — each with six probe forms and a graph scaled to the probe.

Eight skills, one per file: appositive phrase identification (circle which of two marked spans renames the subject), parallel structure (read three versions of a sentence and write the letter of the one with correct parallel structure), semicolon and colon usage (find where the mark is missing and write it in the box), active and passive voice identification (read the sentence and write active or passive), independent and dependent clauses (circle IND or DEP for the highlighted part), double negatives (find the double negative and write the one word that fixes it), helping and linking verb identification (write A or B for what the bold verb is), and apostrophes (write A or B for whether the bold word is a contraction or a possessive). Every probe untimed, scored as items correct out of 10.

What Every File Contains

• A goal page: what the probe measures, a sample goal (invented, every bracket edited by your team), the goal frame as type-in fields, a baseline table for three probes and the median, benchmark rows, and administration and scoring directions
• A binder organizer: a print-and-slide binder cover and divider tabs, so the file drops straight into whatever data folder, binder or shared drive the team already uses
• The probe forms: ten items each, drawn the same way across six forms (A-F), so a change in the score is the student and not the form
• A teacher answer key: every answer for all six forms, generated by the same code that draws the items, and a Correct ___ / 10 box per form
• A data log and graph: rows for repeated probes, a y-axis already scaled to the probe, the aim line drawn first

What This Is, And What It Is Not

Fillable PDFs. Goal pages, the goal box on every probe form, and data logs are type-in fields: click, type, Save As once per student. The probe forms are meant to be printed: one copy per student per week, the student writes on the form, and that same sheet is the one you score. Works offline with no account or subscription; nothing calculates percents or draws the graph for you.

Not a norm-referenced assessment. No benchmark scores, no "typical" rates; the criteria in the sample goals are in brackets because your team sets them from the baseline and the student's IEP. Every probe is untimed on purpose and the goal pages say so, so the condition stays the same all year.

Who This Is For

Upper elementary through middle school special education teachers and case managers writing sentence-structure and usage goals, intervention teachers, and the paraprofessionals who give the weekly probe.
