Literacy Assessment: Helping Teachers Plan Instruction

by J. David Cooper, Nancy D. Kiger

This popular resource distinguishes itself by placing literacy assessment within the context of mainstream classroom reading instruction. Using developmental reading stages as a framework, LITERACY ASSESSMENT puts teachers' instructional needs at its core and considers assessment as a natural part of the instructional cycle. The authors' mission is to show that, with appropriate instruction, success in literacy development is achievable for every student. By presenting the right balance of concept and demonstration, along with a dynamic, positive outlook on learning in both children and teachers, this book equips teachers to help children reach their potential.

I already new a lot of this information. It was a good refresher. The checklists throughout the book and the sections about what upper elementary students learn and entering middle school were the most useful. I would recommend this book to beginning elementary teachers.
