Underscored by rich child development theory, developmentally appropriate practices, and sound research, this book offers a comprehensive array of literacy activities to support children's emergent to fluent literacy from the preprimary years through the fifth grade. Each strategy is paired with a classroom demonstration, and samples of children's work are included. In-depth coverage of highly effective assessment and evaluation strategies are included. This book offers numerous classroom-based, child-centered measurement tools as well as a useful description of the most common standardized tests being used for diagnostic purposes. Portfolio implementation is also highlighted.
