Next Step Guided Reading Assessment
Next Step Guided Reading Assessment Streamlined Assessment for Data Driven Instruction
Jan Richardson and Maria Walther know how overwhelming it can be to assess 25+ students as a first step to implementing guided reading. That’s why they’ve streamlined the process. Teachers administer three of the steps to the whole class within just a few days, allowing them to begin one-on-one conferences right away. Together, the four steps deliver rich information about students’ reading interests and motivation along with their current proficiency in word knowledge, phonics, fluency, and comprehension.
Next Step’s brand new-leveled assessment library provides literary and informational texts that reflect the complexity and text features recommended by higher standards.
Next Step assesses students’ reading skills more comprehensively, requiring students to read closely and give text-based answers.
Next Step’s Teacher Guide closes the loop between assessment and instruction with its ASSESS – DECIDE – GUIDE framework
