Assess Reading and Fluency
The Oral Reading Record provides insight into individual growth while informing instruction, while the Fluency Scoring Guide measures students’ reading behaviors as they build fluency. The Retelling Guide encourages students to tell the main concepts from the reading, allowing teachers to gauge comprehension of key ideas.
Assess Writing
Two valuable tools—the Writing Rubric and a writing checklist—allow teachers to measure student’s progress in writing. The Rubric provides the opportunity for teachers to assess individual pieces of writing, while the checklist is an ongoing snapshot of the qualities of strategic writers.
Assess Vocabulary and Oral Language
The Content Vocabulary Checklist can be used both before and after the theme to measure student’s progress in understanding the academic vocabulary. As students learn language forms and functions, they become more adept at using oral language. The Oral Language Developmental Checklist measures student’s progress in using oral language.
