Ellin Keene has a fairly new book of assessments by Shell Educational Publishing called assessing comprehension Thinking Strategies. It has oral assessments,written assessments,rubrics and passages for grades one through eight. These passages assess all 7 thinking strategies as well as thinking aloud, setting a purpose and text structure. I have just started using them, but I like them so far. Linda Wallis

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? _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
