All too often, literacy assessments are given only for accountability purposes and fail to be seen as valuable resources for planning and differentiating instruction. This clear, concise book shows K-5 educators how to implement a comprehensive, balanced assessment battery that integrates accountability concerns with data-driven instruction. Teachers learn to use different types of test scores to understand and address students' specific learning needs. The book features an in-depth case example of a diverse elementary school that serves many struggling readers and English language learners. Reproducible planning and progress-monitoring forms can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
Grounded in cutting-edge theory and research about literacy
development, this book is filled with practical assessment and
instructional ideas for teachers of pre-K through grade 3. Engaging
vignettes show how everyday conversations and activities offer rich
opportunities both for evaluating children's current level of
knowledge and for helping them progress toward more sophisticated
and rewarding interactions with reading and writing. Throughout,
the book highlights ways to work effectively with English language
learners and their families, a theme that is the exclusive focus of
two chapters. Other timely topics covered include creative uses of
technology and ways to incorporate popular culture into the
classroom. Over two dozen reproducible assessment tools and
handouts enhance the utility of this volume as an instructional
resource, professional development tool, or graduate-level
text.
Bringing together prominent scholars, this book shows how 21st- century research and theory can inform everyday instructional practices in early childhood classrooms (PreK-3). Coverage includes foundational topics such as alphabet learning, phonological awareness, oral language development, and learning to write, as well as cutting-edge topics such as digital literacy, informational texts, and response to intervention. Every chapter features guiding questions; an overview of ideas and findings on the topic at hand; specific suggestions for improving instruction, assessment, and/or the classroom environment; and an engrossing example of the practices in action.
