Literacy Assessment Techniques

Have you been looking for something useful to help write literacy assessments?

JD Cooper has devised a list of easy to use techniques and summarised them in a table in 3 columns under the headings of Technique, Purpose and Comments.

For example you may ask why should I record/make note of a students reading and writing. This recording functions as keeping a track/journal of the learners reading and writing progression. This technique is very useful as it may be used at all levels of literacy and may be used by the teacher to give insight about an individual learners attitudes and inclinations.

Here is a link to this list of techniques in Helping Children Construct Meaning From Literacy by Cooper (1997. Click here.
