"RASINSKI, TIMOTHY" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Nancy Padak and myself developed an assessment system we call Three-Minute Reading Assessments, Grades 1-4, and 5-8 (Scholastic). It is quick assessment that is a cross between running records, informal reading inventories, and DIBELS. From a few minutes of reading teachers can get a sense for their students' word recognition, automaticity in word decoding, expression/prosody, and comprehension. We purposefully made it a quick assessment because we know that time is precious in classrooms and that time given to assessment is time taken away from instruction.

Where do you get these assessments? My school does not use textbooks, and we don't have a reading "program." We rely on the results from the Iowa Test, and the NC EOG tests. Both of these are not good for informing my instruction. By the time I get these results, it is too late! GASP, I have used DIBELS, but before we go on about DIBELS, remember that I am using it very carefully and purposely. I do DIBELS much like running records, recording all sorts of information about the kind of reading the students do. I don't have any money to invest, so whatever I do must be readily available. I've thought about MPIR, but it seems rather cumbersome. Does it feel more natural after administering it several times? I conference with my students daily; next year with 14 students in my class I think I will actually get to them two or three times a week! I'm really interested in doing better with asessment so I can plan better more purposeful lessons that get to the heart of what my students need. I welcome comments, suggestions, and HELP!
