Kerry- Since the use of comprehension strategies can be difficult to assess, you have a large task on your hands. I work with students identified as having reading difficulties and we work on the use of strategies in class. I use the strategy interview in the "Mosaic of Thought" book. This has given me valuable feedback about the students use of strategies, and has been very helpful in planning lessons.

My school is currently taking a look at how we assess overall reading comprehension and the students' use of the comprehension strategies. We have been charged with creating common assessments that will given by each Lang. Arts teacher (to each student) across the grade level. Therefore, my second question is: does anyone's school have anything like this? Thirdly, does anyone have any ideas for how this could look at the 5th grade level? We've begun brainstorming, but I am looking for some fresh ideas. I'd love to hear how you measure your students' overall comprehension and strategy use. Thanks in advance, Kerry/5th ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
