Assessment for Reading Instruction, Fourth Edition (2019) by Katherine A. Dougherty Stahl, Kevin Flanigan, and Michael C. McKenna has helped more than 125,000 preservice and inservice teachers master systematic reading assessment in grades K-8. This accessible, widely adopted text explains how to use both formal and informal assessments to evaluate students' strengths and needs across every component of reading.
The revised and updated fourth edition walks teachers step-by-step through effective, engaging methods for targeted instruction in each area of reading development. The convenient large-size format includes 30 reproducible assessment tools, plus an additional multipage assessment available through the companion website where educators can access and print reproducible materials.
New to this edition: expanded coverage of the middle grades (4-8) with a new chapter and case study; explicit attention to this grade range throughout the book; new coauthor Kevin Flanigan contributing adolescent literacy expertise; updated coverage of computer-based testing methods; assessment of academic language; and improved approaches for using reading inventories accurately. Additional reproducibles include informal reading inventory summary forms, comprehension retelling forms, fluency rubrics, phonics and spelling inventories, and vocabulary assessments.
Key topics: phonological and phonemic awareness, phonics and decoding, word recognition, oral reading fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, academic language, writing assessment, English language learners, struggling readers, response to intervention (RTI), Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), and dyslexia screening.
Essential for: elementary and middle school teachers, reading specialists, literacy coaches, special education teachers, school psychologists, reading education graduate students, and teacher preparation programs.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math β Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
