From expert authors, this book guides educators to conduct assessments
that inform daily instruction and identify the assets that emergent
bilinguals bring to the classroom. Effective practices are reviewed
for screening, assessment, and progress monitoring in the areas of oral
language, beginning reading skills, vocabulary and comprehension in the
content areas, and writing. The book also addresses how to establish
schoolwide systems of support that incorporate family and community
engagement. Packed with practical ideas and vignettes, the book focuses
on grades K-6, but also will be useful to middle and high school
teachers. Appendices include reproducible forms that can be downloaded
and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
