How the Assessments are Designed:
- The texts and assessments are designed so that there is a set for each comprehension skill. There are a total of 9 leveled passages:
700-800 – 6 passages
800-900 – 3 passages - Each assessment has three questions. The first question is the most simple, while the third question is the most difficult. The first question requires a basic and surface-level understanding of the reading skill. The second question builds upon the concept a bit more. The third question requires application of the concept. These three-tiered questions are labeled with shapes (circle, square, triangle) so that the levels are discrete.
How To Use These Assessments:
- The leveled questions will give you insight and data for creating your strategy reading groups. You can group students by reading level or by specific strategy, or a combination of both. With student groups and pre-assessment data at your fingertips, you can differentiate instruction for each group as you move through the skill.
- Give the post-assessment (same test as the pre-assessment) after the unit is finished to track growth.
