I have the students use post-it notes in their books. I have found my struggling readers don't have the pressure of writing everything down, but still can use support from the text to support their answers.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Melinda Haynes Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 12:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LIT] quick assessments I am interested in finding and implementing several "quick check"-type assessment of reading and writing. For example, if I have taught a mini-lesson on predictions, I might have the students write predictions prior to the indep. reading that day, and provide evidence for their predictions on the back of the card. During indep reading, I can go around and "quick check" to see who may benefit from invitational groups, etc. I would love to hear other ideas of ways to quick check student's independent level of practice regarding any strategies associated with reading or writing you might use in your classrooms.
