Literacy Assessment And Intervention For Classroom Teachers

Beverly A. DeVries

This new edition of Integrating the Language Arts presents a comprehensive view of teaching the language arts. It offers a balanced approach between direct instruction in the communication arts and integrating the language arts with other content areas such as music, art, mathematics, social studies, and science. It explores the important topics of community and parental involvement in education and offers thoughtful coverage of diversity in the schools. 
The authors, who believe in incorporating real-life activities and experiences into the classroom, have made this new edition more interactive. It encourages readers to become involved in their own learning, to move beyond the textbook and apply what they learn in real-life teaching experiences. Also new to this edition are information on standards, legislation, and high-stakes testing; an expanded discussion of the role of caregivers in student’s language arts development; an appendix of classroom resources, including lists of children’s literature and books to meet special needs; and an appendix of more than 20 assessment devices, including rubrics for assessing reading, listening, speaking, and writing.

Literacy Assessment and Intervention for the Elementary Classroom will prepare future teachers to recognize and assess reading and writing problems and provide effective interventions to help every student succeed. The book focuses on the major areas of literacy: phonemic awareness, phonics, word identification, comprehension of narrative and expository text, vocabulary, fluency, and writing, including spelling. The author thoroughly examines each of these areas, providing an overview of pertinent research, suggested methods and tools for diagnosing and assessing problems, intervention strategies and activities, and technology interventions to increase student skills. Other chapters focus on how personal experience informs teaching, formal and informal assessment methods, tutoring programs, and partnering with parents or caregivers.
