Overview
A popular classroom assessment tool, this supplement is widely used by pre-service and in-service teachers to assess or test students' reading progress. It also serves as a practical guide for reading specialists and as a focus for in-service workshops. Unique to this text are its K–12 scope and its abundant strategies (including forms) for assessing students' vocabulary, phonics, and comprehension of text.
- Sections are tabbed and coded for greater ease of navigation.
- Appendix A, "Choosing Books to Develop and Support Children's Reading Proficiency," has been expanded to include select non-Fry titles, with special attention given to the upper grades.
- Appendix A includes material for teachers on struggling readers and independent readers.
- References in Sections 1 and 2 reflect the latest research in IRI.
- Rubric for Retelling in Section One offers detailed information to help guide the assessment of retellings by teachers.
- A tabbing system marks the various sections of passages and forms, aiding navigation.
- A Leveled Trade Book Appendix provides a list of leveled books that correspond to each reading/grade level found in the book. A special feature of this Appendix is the inclusion of high-interest, low-level books for adolescent students who have serious reading problems--an area that is a growing concern among teachers today.
- Two sets of graded word lists and four selections of graded reading passages offer flexibility for testing and re-testing students with a wide range of reading competence.
