Unlock the full reading potential of every student with Reading Assessment Done Right. Authored by the dynamic duo of Stephanie Stollar and Kate Winn, this book informs and empowers frontline teachers to use effective, evidence-based assessments to screen, diagnose, and monitor their students. It demystifies assessment to help teachers improve reading outcomes for all students. When assessment is done right, teachers see the power of it because they can pinpoint student needs, target instruction, and track progress. The companion website includes download-ready scheduling and planning tools, as well as video clips featuring the authors discussing various types of assessments and their purposes.
This is a highly practical, accessible resource that should be required reading for educators, administrators, and literacy leaders alike. Kate and Stephanie clearly unpack the different types of reading assessments and, more importantly, show how to use them to make informed, meaningful instructional decisions. This is the book I wish I’d had years ago—it would have fundamentally changed how I approached assessment and instruction.
A great resource for teachers to learn and understand the effective use of assessments, understand their purpose, and act on the student data collected. This book gives teachers the knowledge to unlock the reading potential for ALL students.
