Now there's a way to blend balanced literacy and formative assessment.
This book infuses research-based best practices of formative assessment
through the lens of Common Core, with assessment support in these areas:
read-alouds, guiding language into reading, language and literacy
centers, and independent reading and writing. It also includes the how
for novice and veteran K-8 teachers, administrators, and school literacy
teams. Resources are included to help educators collect information and
provide feedback to students.
