B 97148B 97148 Connected Reading: Teaching Adolescent Readers in a Digital World
Grade Lvl: T Author: Turner, Kristen Hawley / Hicks, Troy
Length: 179 Copyright: 2015

As readers of all ages increasingly turn to the Internet and a variety of electronic devices for both informational and leisure reading, teachers need to reconsider not just who and what teens read but where and how they read as well. Having ready access to digital tools and texts doesn't mean that middle and high school students are automatically thoughtful, adept readers. So how can we help adolescents become critical readers in a digital age? Using NCTE's policy research brief Reading Instruction for All Students as both guide and sounding board, experienced teacher-researchers Kristen Hawley Turner and Troy Hicks took their questions about adolescent reading practices to a dozen middle and high school classrooms. In this book, they report on their interviews and survey data from visits with hundreds of teens, which led to the development of their model of Connected Reading: "Digital tools, used mindfully, enable connections. Digital reading is connected reading." They argue that we must teach adolescents how to read digital texts effectively, not simply expect that teens can read them because they know how to use digital tools. Turner and Hicks offer practical tips by highlighting classroom practices that engage students in reading and thinking with both print and digital texts, thus encouraging reading instruction that reaches all students.

Due to the diversity of readers in today’s classrooms, teachers are called upon to teach not reading, but readers. Personalized Reading highlights four different types of readers -- the struggling reader, the reluctant reader, English learners and advanced readers -- and presents ways to use technology tools to accommodate their different reading styles. With this book, teachers will develop the skills they need to help students select their own texts, conduct reading workshops and teach students to read both print and visual texts, while identifying what works best for each student to maximize learning and potential. The strategies and classroom-ready ideas presented here will help educators incorporate technology to promote reading, critical thinking and digital literacy, and will answer questions like: How can teachers meet the needs of all learners to help them think critically and communicate effectively? How can teachers approach reading of visual, print and digital text? This book will: help teachers empower students with the skills and strategies they need for reading success, and to find joy in reading; inspire teachers to think beyond the text to help meet students where they are and raise the level of thinking about teaching readers; and provide activities and lessons to help support the diverse learners that enter the classroom, highlighting a variety of technology tools to tap into the multifaceted texts students can access.

Test can be used to estimate student reading level, group students effectively, and choose appropriate textbooks. Not a norm-referenced or standardized instrument. QRI-5 provides graded word lists and passages designed to assess the oral and silent reading, and/or listening ability of students from the pre-primer through the high school levels. Provides three ways of assessing comprehension: student unaided recall, questions without look-backs, and questions with look-backs. Includes explicit and implicit questions. Think-Alouds can be used at the sixth grade through high school levels. Rate measured in words per minute and corrected words per minute.

Grade Lvl: T Author: Serravallo, Jennifer
Length: 400 Copyright: 2015

Collects 300 strategies to share with readers in support of thirteen goals-everything from fluency to literary analysis. Each strategy is cross-linked to skills, genres, and Fountas & Pinnell reading levels. Helps teachers (using formative assessments) develop goals for every reader. Book is organized by goals. Each of the thirteen chapters is a goal, & the goals most commonly match readers in grades K-8. The order of the chapters is in a hierarchy of sorts (starts with emergent reading and ends with writing about reading.) The goal chosen for a student becomes the focus for ongoing work with the student in conferences and small groups. Within each goal, there may be one or more skills that a reader would need to work on; then once the skills are identified, the teacher needs to find specific strategies to accomplish those skills. Each Strategy page in the book explains the strategy, lists Lesson Language (shows how a teacher might explain or demonstrate a strategy) or Teaching Tips (added explanation to help the teacher understand the intention of the lesson) and Prompts (can be used when providing scaffolds during the practice with the strategy and when offering feedback). The margins indicate the F & P Text Gradient, genre, and skills that will often work best with the strategy. The author's Hat Tips describe a connection to the work of influential teacher-authors. Visuals are included for all the lessons.

B 97023B 97023 Understanding and Using Reading Assessment, K-12, 3rd Edition
Grade Lvl: T Author: Afflerbach, Peter
Length: 286 Copyright: 2018

Using the CURRV model to evaluate reading assessment methods—including reading inventories, teacher questioning, performance assessment, and high-stakes reading tests—Afflerbach considers the consequences and usefulness of each method, the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders, and the reliability and validity of the assessments. In addition, he examines four important but often overlooked aspects of reading assessment: Assessment accommodation for English-language learners and students with special needs Assessment of noncognitive aspects of reading, such as motivation, engagement, self-concept, and self-efficacy The use of formative and summative assessment The importance of self-assessment in building reading independence The book provides detailed case studies from all grade levels to illustrate reading assessment done well. It also includes 15 reproducible forms and checklists that teachers and administrators can use to optimize their reading assessment efforts.

B 97096B 97096 Understanding Texts & Readers: Responsive Comprehension Instruction with Leveled Texts
Grade Lvl: T Author: Serravallo, Jennifer
Length: 278 Copyright: 2018

Understanding Texts & Readers makes comprehension make sense. Jennifer Serravallo narrows the distance between assessment and instruction. She maps the four fiction and four nonfiction comprehension goals she presented in The Reading Strategies Book to fourteen text levels and shares sample responses that show what to expect from readers at each. Jen simplifies text complexity and clarifies comprehension instruction. She begins by untangling the many threads of comprehension: Levels, engagement, stamina, the relevance of texts, and much more. Then level by level she: •calls out with precision how plot and setting, character, vocabulary and figurative language, and themes and ideas change as fiction across levels •specifies how the complexity of main idea, key details, vocabulary, and text features increases in nonfiction texts •points out what to expect from a reader as text characteristics change •provides samples of student responses to texts at each level •shares progressions across levels to support instructional planning. Even if you haven't read the book your reader is responding to, you'll have the background necessary to make great teaching decisions for all your readers. "Understanding subtle shifts and increases in demands from level to level," writes Jennifer Serravallo, "can guide what a teacher asks a student, what the teacher expects of the student, and what the teacher, therefore, teaches the student."
