Listening to students read is simply one of the most important things you can do as a reading teacher.
In our new episode, Stephanie Stollar explains what teachers can learn by listening closely and why reading accuracy is essential for comprehension.

Imagine 2 students who read 85 words correctly in 1 minute.
1 reads slowly but accurately. The other reads quickly while making many errors. A score tells part of the story.
Hear Kate Winn explain this example in “Reading Assessment Done Right.”

Kate Winn and Stephanie Stollar recommend starting with one quality, evidence-based assessment for each purpose: screening, diagnostic assessment, progress monitoring, and outcomes.
They help us sort out what each one should tell us in our new episode, dropping Friday!

When large numbers of students score below benchmark, the solution can't be to create an individual plan for each child.

Stephanie Stollar & Kate Winn organize reading assessment around:
Who's at risk?
What should I teach next?
Is instruction working?
Did students reach the goal?
This Friday's episode will walk through those questions +more.

If you would like an accessible overview of Direct Instruction theory, my second book might be of interest. With a foreword by Kurt Engelmann, it explores how DI selects, categorises and sequences knowledge.

The focus of Season 2 is the approach developed by Siegfried Engelmann, the founder of NIFDI. This is the same approach that NIFDI helps schools implement today.
