This is a great resource for any classroom teacher. The assessments are user-friendly and help you to quickly pinpoint reading difficulties. Unlike many other assessments, there is a comprehension piece in addition to expression and automaticity. I photocopy kids' results to share with parents; and the assessments are simple enough that parents are able to understand the results and practice specific skills with their child at home.Why four, not five stars: They're more like five or six minute assessments once you actually write down all your notes. I've used them for awhile, and even with practice am never done in three minutes. I also wish there were more passages for each grade level. Overall though, a great book and one of my more often-used teacher resources.
Its true; it really only takes 3-5 minutes to assess your students' reading level. It assesses the words correct per minute, the % of correct words, comprehension, fluency, pace, smoothness, and tone. Its great and highly recommended. I wish I had this years ago!
I found this book very useful to use in the classroom. I was able to conduct the assessments fairly quickly and provide both myself and the parents with an abbreviated list of areas in which the student needed to work. Really great for the classroom teacher!
I use this resource in my classes all the time. The assessments are quick,simple to implement, and yield a wealth of information. Tracking student data is easy and manageable. Highly recommended for reading specialists,special ed, and general ed teachers.
In teaching a course on literacy assessment, I was looking for a concise means to incorporate Running Record and Miscue Analysis. This book enabled me to find a happy middle ground that was highly applicable for my preservice teachers - something they could wrap their heads around and put into practice. Definitely a great starting point for teachers wanting a quick and simple reading assessment. There is also a 3 Minute Reading Assessment for grades 5-8.
I have used this and the higher level version of this book. They are great, short assesments for reading fluency. A passage with a word count is provided for the instructor, as well as a student page. I prefer to use these for instruction or practice, and use standarized versions for documentation such as Aims Web.
A great way to get a thumbnail view of fluency and comprehension. Quick & easy to use, with good scoring rubrics!
This 64 page book is packed with useful ideas and tools on every page. The short assessments are easy to use and deliver the needed information to tailor reading instruction for any student.I would recommend this for anyone who wants to know exactly where each student's strength or weakness lies.
