Measuring Up
Author: John SabatiniPublisher: R&L Education
ISBN: 1607094878
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
In recent decades, the science of reading acquisition has been advancing through interdisciplinary research in cognitive, psycholinguistic, developmental, genetic, neuroscience, cross-language, and experimental comparison studies of effective instruction. Some of the science of reading has emerged from the theory and research into the realm of practice and policy. Yet the science and practice of measuring “reading comprehension” has remained relatively immune to much of this foundational knowledge. Measuring Up questions the traditional format of reading comprehension tests, typically a single series of questions asked about a series of passages, and offers ideas and innovations we might expect in a next generation of 21st century reading assessments. Sabatini, Albro, and O'Reilly believe that in light of the move towards Common Core State Standards and assessments, as well as significant national investments in reading and literacy education, it is a critical and opportune time to bring together the research and measurement community to address fundamental issues of measuring reading comprehension, both in theory and in practice.
Reading and Understanding
Author: Joseph H. DanksPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
This monograph, the sixth in a series on the development of the reading process, is concerned with the development of reading comprehension. In the first chapter, "Comprehension in Listening and Reading: Same or Different," Joseph H. Danks analyzes the evidence for the proposition that tbe comprehension processes for language in print and language in speech are the same and for the contrary proposition that there are significant differences in the understanding of the message in print and speech. In the second chapter, "Arguments for a Constructive Approach to Comprehension and Memory," Kathy Pezdek reviews pertinent research literature on comprehension from the constructive memory approach to the issue. She makes a case for the proposition that the meaning of a sentence is not simply the sum of the separate meanings of the individual words and that sentence comprehension is in a very real sense the determiner of the words of the sentence. She also reviews factors of constructive memory that influence reading comprehension. (MKM)

The Reading Teacher
Author: Academic Assessment and Intervention
Author: Steven LittlePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136265899
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
Serving students with academic deficiencies necessitates communication and collaboration among professionals from several disciplines. Academic Assessment and Intervention brings together divergent approaches in order to demonstrate that scientific evidence, rather than biases or previous practice, must determine assessment practices that are selected and used for particular purposes. Similar to a handbook in its comprehensive topical coverage, this edited collection provides a contextual foundation for academic assessment and intervention; describes both norm-referenced and curriculum-based assessment/measurement in detail; considers the implications of both of these assessments on ethnically diverse populations; provides a clear link between assessment, evidence-based interventions and the RTI model; and considers other important topics related to this area such as teacher behavior. Intended primarily for graduate-level courses in education, school psychology, or child clinical psychology, it will also be of interest to practicing professionals in these fields.
