Kindergarten Data Books
Take it from someone who knows:
1. Having students track data is very valuable! Setting goals with kids is important and they need
to know where they are going!
2. Data books are very time consuming on the teachers part because the kids generally cannot
manage them. See tips below.
3. Yes, you could have a graph for everything but filling these out will take time so I suggest you
pick no more than 3 (and do less if you can) graphs to do with your students!
4. DIBELS is a good place to start because most of us have to progress monitor there anyways.
If not, keep basic with letter names, sound, counting, and/or sight words.
5. Students in kindergarten also often ebb and flow with learning, today they can count to 60
but tomorrow they can only count to 40 on their own. You have to learn to let go of the
graphs not being 100 % accurate and only record the growth… how devastating to have to
cross off they don’t know something! Use the Kindergarten Assessment Checklists listed
above with pencil to record the actual scores as they vary a bit from time to time.
Tips to use these:
1. Color code them… print all the Letter Sound pages on red or Counting on blue. This way the
kids can manage “Open up to the blue Counting graph.”
2. Depending on your class and your comfort level, have kids hold them and bring them to you
when you test them OR you store and pull out when you test them.
3. I let them decorate the front so it feels like their book!
4. Always have ‘one kid on deck’ ready to go so you are not wasting time waiting for a student
to come or find their book.
5. Start by showing them what they scored last time and set a goal orally. “You got 2 letters
last time, I think you can get 6 this time, let’s see!” Then test the child and praise any gain
they have.
6. Start by coloring the graphs with the kids. Then slowly back off and just color the top score.
For example, if they got 30 sounds in a minute color in the 30 box and draw a line all the
way down to the zero. Tell them only to color the boxes you drew the line in. (You will lose
so much valuable time filling out graphs if you don’t train them to do so! And if you don’t
explicitly state where to color they will color it all crazy!)
7. You may also want to make them line graphs, so they can be done and on their way! I would
also date the square they color up to if the date is not included in the graph itself.
8. You can also highlight the row for the ultimate goal for that indicator so they know where
they are headed
