DESCRIPTION:
I highly recommend this book for literacy coaches and school administrators Literacy teacher I agree with the previous reviewers. This book is clear, concise, and practical. It also addresses important concerns for teachers of children who live in poverty in ways other books on reading assessment do not. I highly recommend this book for literacy coaches and school administrators.. "Four Stars" according to Pamela A. Brewer. A good resource on data use in the classroom.
Teachers learn to use different types of test scores to understand and address students' specific learning needs. All too often, literacy assessments are given only for accountability purposes and fail to be seen as valuable resources for planning and differentiating instruction. The book features an in-depth case example of a diverse elementary school that serves many struggling readers and English language learners. This clear, concise book shows K-5 educators how to implement a comprehensive, balanced assessment battery that integrates accountability concerns with data-driven instruction. Reproducible planning and progress monitoring forms can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
