Assessment Description

There are various approaches to teaching reading and numerous instructional strategies that educators can use to engage students in reading and comprehending narrative and informational texts. It is critical for student success for teachers to understand reading standards and to plan effective, standards-based reading instruction that is supportive of all learners. Additionally, teachers must align their assessments to the standards and instruction to provide appropriate opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery.  

Utilize the “Planning Reading Instruction” template to complete the topic assignment.

Part 1: Approaches to Reading Instruction

Identify three approaches/methods (reading workshop, whole class reading of a core book, literature circles, sustained silent reading, etc.) to teaching reading and provide a 50-75 word description of each.

Part 2: Reading Standards and Learning Objectives     

Write at least one measurable, developmentally appropriate learning objective for each of the provided reading standards.

Part 3: Whole Group Reading Lesson

Create a whole group reading lesson based on one of the standards and learning objectives in Part 2. Design differentiated activities that support the standard and learning objective that students can engage in before reading a text, while reading the text, and after reading the text.  

Support the template with 2-3 scholarly resources.

While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
