Consider the importance of using a variety of assessments in the teaching of reading.

Create a chart that identifies various types of informal, formal, formative, and summative assessments (e.g., DRA, running records, DIBELS) used to assess children's reading abilities.

Compare and contrast a minimum of five assessments, using the Bloom's Taxonomy Wheel for reference.
