Comprehension Assessment: A Classroom Guide
Guilford Press | JoAnne Schudt Caldwell | 2008/04/01
ISBN 13: 9781593857073
How can busy teachers successfully manage the complex task of assessing their students’ reading comprehension? This invaluable book—the first stand-alone guide on the topic—presents reliable, research-supported guidelines and procedures for K–6 teachers to use in the classroom. Through practical tips and realistic examples, the book demonstrates time-saving ways to implement and adapt a wide range of existing assessments, rather than creating new ones. Also covered are strategies for conducting multiliteracy assessments, using classroom assessment to complement standardized testing, accommodating response-to-intervention mandates, and linking assessment to content-area instruction.

Reviews
“Caldwell captures the complex nature of comprehension while providing easily accessible examples…. Unique to this book is Caldwell’s attention to how educators can use content-free dialogue and think-alouds as part of the comprehension assessment process.”—Katherine Hilden, PhD, Radford University
“A valuable resource for schol districts and teachers preparation programs…. Literacy specialists and reading coaches also will find this a wonderful resource and a call to change, one that is supportive of pre-, ongoing and post-assessment practices. The book is filled with opportunities for classroom teachers and district leaders to allow assessment to be purposeful. I would recommend using this text in graduate-level courses.”—Marie Donnantuono, MEd, William Paterson University
