Book excerpt: "Informal Assessment Strategies explores the power of informed assessment practices on teachers, on instruction and, most of all, on the success of students, particularly in literacy and reading comprehension." "This book shows teachers how to use the results of assessment and - most importantly - how to find time to assess in the increasingly crowded school day. Teachers are challenged to reflect on their own practice and are encouraged to explore the why, what, and how of assessment. Busy teachers learn how to listen, question, and observe students and focus on student strengths and abilities. They learn how to use student abilities as a foundation for lessons that build on what students know."--Jacket.
