Assessment

Assessment must look different too.

We must use the same tools for assessment that we do for teaching reading. We need to use all the strategies that we direct students to use.

We wouldn’t teach a student to play music by ear and then assess their ability to play by giving them sheet music to play.

We have to ensure that we assess how we instruct.

Tallying the number of words that they can read is one measure that you can provide.

Having them read unknown books, using Right Brain Reading methods, is also valid.
