Intervention Strategies to Follow Informal Reading Inventory Assessment


Book Description

"To help teachers connect students' performance and evaluation to instruction, best-selling authors JoAnne Caldwell and Lauren Leslie outline practical intervention strategies that are aligned with any informal reading inventory. Written with the firm belief that a student's performance on any evaluation instrument should be specifically connected to instruction in the intervention sessions that follow, this book provides a clear understanding of how to connect assessment and instruction and specifically tie informal reading inventory assessment and intervention instruction together. Arguing that there is a disconnect between the assessment of reading and the design of instructional activities to improve it, the renowned authors of the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI), JoAnne and Lauren discuss how this disconnect stands in the way of implementing effective programs for struggling readers. Intervention strategies guide teachers to connect assessment results on an informal reading inventory with specific aspects of intervention instruction. Intervention Strategies to Follow Informal Reading Inventory Assessment is ideal for teachers seeking a systematic perspective to how intervention should be based on assessment."--publisher website.

A Mind At A Time


Book Description

'Different minds learn differently' writes Dr Mel Levine, one of the best-known education experts and paediatricians in America today. And that's a problem for many children, because most schools still cling to a one-size-fits-all education philosophy. In A MIND AT A TIME, Dr Levine shows parents and others who care for children how to identify these individual learning patterns. He explains how parents and teachers can encourage a child's strengths and bypass the child's weaknesses. This type of teaching produces satisfaction and achievement instead of frustration and failure. Different brains are differently wired with eight fundamental systems of learning that draw on a variety of neurodevelopmental capacities. Certain students are strong in certain areas and some are strong in others, but no one is equally capable in all eight. Learning begins at school, but it doesn't end there. Frustrating a child's desire to learn will have lifelong repercussions. We must begin to pay more attention to individual learning styles, to individual minds, urges Dr Levine, so that we can maximise our children's learning potential. A MIND AT A TIME shows us how.

THE EARLY GRADE READING ASSESSMENT


Book Description

The Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) measures students' progress towards reading. EGRA gauges early literacy skills through a 15-minute individual oral assessment of five fundamental reading skills. RTI worked with education experts to develop the EGRA in 2006, and it has been piloted and implemented in more than 40 countries. This volume aims to take stock of the substantial amount of information and experience generated through the use of EGRA, and to share this knowledge with practitioners, policymakers, and international donors. Chapters cover not only particular applications of the instrument but also put EGRA in the context of broader issues and developments in literacy and education.
