Using a constructivist approach, this informal inventory provides teachers with a simple, straightforward means of assessing reading competencies for pre-K through grade 12 students. A comprehensive treatment offers a plan for reading assessment that is compatible with balanced reading instruction, yet retains some traditional methods and descriptions. The book enables teachers to place students with appropriate reading and instructional materials; acquire insight into reading developments (reading of connected text, word analysis, story and content comprehension, miscue analysis); place students in appropriate basal reading programs; plan collaborative learning activities involving reading, planning, and mini-lessons; and determine which non-negotiable student skills require further development. For future and current teachers.
