- list two formal and two informal assessments for each literacy area, including Comprehension, Fluency, Oral Language, Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, and Vocabulary.
- choose one formal and one informal assessment to administer to a small group of students in your classroom. (Note: if you are not teaching now, you may administer this assessment to family, friends, or cohort members.)
- indicate which assessments you are administering
- reflect upon the assessment you applied in a small group. How effective was the assessment? What data did you gather?
- create a plan to use one evidence-based best practice to develop fluency to enhance comprehension in domain-specific (kindergarten math) texts utilizing summarizing, extended text discussions, or student questioning.
- Example: Based on the data gathered, I can see that comprehension is lacking, likely due to choppy reading. I plan to practice summarizing with my students in a small group. We will begin with repeating the vocabulary words and then focus on choral and repeated reading. Once we have read the paragraph together multiple times, I will ask students to take turns summarizing the paragraph. We will examine our level of comprehension based on the accuracy of the summaries presented by each student.
