I am working with a school that is using Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark Assessment. I know we have discussed Dibels and other assessment programs but I don't ever remember seeing this assessment discussed. Is any one familiar with it and what do you think. It reminds me of the Old Rigby Assessment and it includes many of the items Marie Clay pioneered, running records, concepts about print etc. I am wondering if anyone has used F&P's assessment, guided reading, or word sorts and what did you think. If you have used it how does it compare to running records, miscue analysis, the Observation Survey and Reading Recovery. I know that Reading Recovery is based on using running records and Observation Survey, but I know in many schools these have been used separately. I just want your opinion. What does/did your school district use and what do you think. Pat Kimathi PatK
