Are you getting the most out of your K-1 reading assessments?  Are they aligned with your balanced literacy curriculum and research based? In this three ½-day workshop, we will be presenting early elementary reading assessments and strategies that you can take back to your classroom. Collaborative discussions, demonstrations, and presentations will guide our learning.

*If you work with older readers who are reading at K-1st grade levels, feel free to join this group.

Learning Targets:

• I can create a scope and sequence of balanced literacy assessments aligned to current CCSS that effectively monitors and measures reading growth in students.

• I can access multiple assessment tools to determine my students' current reading strengths and needed next steps.

• I can create a system of record keeping.

Artifacts: As we research early elementary reading assessments, we will collect those assessments that have been proven to be effective and set aside those that are not considered highly effective.  As we view instructional videos, we will be observing techniques and strategies that will not only help in our facilitation but also in our teaching back in our classrooms.
