- Literacy instruction is all about knowing where we are, and where we want to be!
- Some students may need different assessments on various skills.
- All students are not the same and do not learn the same, therefore our methods of teaching and monitoring progress should also not be the same for all students.
- So many assessments! Comprehension assessments (on different levels - independent reading levels, current grade levels), fluency assessments, writing assessments, spelling and vocabulary assessments
- Differentiated instruction calls for differentiated assessments.
- What assessments do YOU use?
