Great for teachers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Assessing Reading gives the classroom teacher all they need to construct reading tests. First of all, it covers the question--what is reading. You might be surprised to learn that we don't really know what reading is. Next, the author introduces several theories on how to assess reading skills. The meat of the book, however, is the detailed examination of several testing methods. Using theories of reading, you will be able to more accurately assess the reading skills of your students. I recommend this for teachers who are teaching reading. This book will help you to understand some of the processes behind what your students are doing while reading.
