Description
This accessible and reader-friendly book will help you assess and determine the foundational reading needs of each of your K – 5 students. Literacy leaders Jill Dunlap Brown and Jana Schmidt offer an easy-to-use data analysis tool called, "The Columns" for teachers at all levels of experience to make sense of classroom data for elementary readers. This book will guide you in using the tool to identify the root causes of foundational reading deficits and to plan appropriate interventions. Sample case studies allow you to practice identifying needs and matching interventions. Stories and examples throughout the book will encourage you as you help your students meet their full potential.
The book provides easy-to-use and printable versions of the data analysis columns that will enable you to put the authors‘ advice into immediate action. These tools are available for download on the book’s product page: www.routledge.com/9780367225070
