Reading Assessment Conference
Reading Assessment Conference
The Reading Assessment Conference helps in determining a reader's instructional level so that the teacher can guide and coach the reader as he or she reads a text with a supportive balance of known and unknown elements. During the conference, the teacher gathers insights that can be discovered only when carefully observing a reader in a one-on-one setting.
This chart below is an indicator of where your child’s instructional level is (comprehension and accuracy) at any given time. Students can become frustrated if they are reading levels much higher than their current level, or they may not be receiving enough practice when reading much lower than the current level. The more students read “Just Right” books (10-15 minutes per day), the better they get!
Here are some suggestions to keep your child reading with success and enjoyment:
Here are some suggestions to keep your child reading with success and enjoyment:
Choose one book at your child's instructional reading level. This book will provide your child with a challenge but not frustration.
Choose one book at any level. A parent or other fluent reader can read the book aloud to your child
If it is an easy book, this is called a "Good Ol' Friend" book and is good for relaxation and enjoyment.
If it is a difficult book for your child, a parent or older sibling can read the "Dream Book" to the child. Please do not encourage your child to read above-level books independently. This can cause frustration and a dread of reading.
Visit your Public Library and a librarian can assist you with finding the best-fit book for your child.
