"The content of tests can be puzzling to students and teachers
alike. While a state test purports to measure the curriculum, often
the curriculum standards seem mysterious as well--written in code
or so general in meaning that it seems impossible for teachers to
know if their instruction will adequately prepare their students."
--Charles Fuhrken When he was a student struggling to concentrate
on dreadfully boring passages of standardized reading tests,
Charles Fuhrken remembers thinking to himself, "Who writes this
stuff?" He had no idea that one day it would be him. Fuhrken has
spent years working as a writer for several major testing
companies, and he believes that what he's learned about testing
could be very useful--even liberating--for teachers interested in
teaching effective reading strategies as well as preparing students
for reading tests. In "What Every Elementary Teacher Needs to Know
About Reading Tests," Charles takes the mystery out of reading
tests. He explains how reading tests are created, how standards are
interpreted and assessed, and how students can apply their
knowledge of reading to standardized tests. "What Every Elementary
Teacher Needs to Know About Reading Tests" sets the record straight
about the myths and realities of tests and offers extensive,
practical strategies that help students perform well on test day.
This ready to use, easy to understand resource provides a wealth of
information about reading tests, including high-quality preparation
materials; samples of the most frequently assessed reading
standards; and more than thirty engaging, core-reading activities.
Tests require a special kind of savvy, a kind of critical thinking
and knowledge-application that is not always a part of classroom
reading experiences. That's why teachers need to provide students
with sound, specific information about reading tests. Only then can
students feel prepared and confident on test day.
