Assessment Suggestions
Inferring
Emergent(K-1)p.65
Observe students as they engage in reading in various contexts, and record such behaviours as using memory for story to produce meaningful retellings, reading the pictures, using both the print and pictures to read the story, pointing to words as they read, producing meaningful substitutions. |
Early(1-2)p.79
Note responses to questions asked in the contexts of reading conferences, shared reading, and guided reading, such as, What is the story about? What might be another title for the story? Why do you think … ? How do you think Joey felt? How is Sara like the boy in the last book we read? What do you think will happen next? |
Transitional(3-4)p.93
Use observation along with anecdotal records and checklists to keep track of students’ developing skills and strategies. Use questionnaires/surveys to gather information about students’ understanding of the reading process. |
