This focus on informal rather than formal (clinical) assessment and its detailed descriptions of instructional procedures set it apart from the competition.

Plumbing his file drawers for 64 of the most effective comprehension minilessons from his distinguished teaching career, Serafini has created a teaching treasure trove that contains nearly a year's worth of comprehension instruction plus an extensive list of children's literature that he has successfully woven into his own reading workshop. Lessons in Comprehension introduces and reinforces meaning-making concepts through eight broad thematic strands that scaffold understanding and responsibility for novice readers: <ul>
<li>Inviting Children into the World of Reading and Literature</li> <li>Exploring the Structures and Components of Literature</li> <li>Navigating Text</li> <li>Promoting Invested Literature Discussions</li> <li>Developing Comprehension Practices</li> <li>Investigating Informational Texts</li> <li>Extending Response to Literature</li> <li>Examining Critical Perspectives.</li> </ul>
Within each strand, eight lessons take students deep into key comprehension strategies like visualization, journaling, and previewing texts. Tried, proven, and grounded in the latest scientific-based research, each substantial lesson offers a complete framework to take you and your students from theory through guided practice and beyond. And, unique among books on the reading workshop, each lesson also features Serafini's own classroom-honed language-the perfect model to adapt for explicit instruction in any reading classroom. These lessons fit seamlessly together and provide the instructional backbone for learners of every level and ability. "Effective teachers teach," writes Serafini, and in effective reading workshops explicit instruction provides an important link between the written word and an emerging reader's ability to both interact with texts and understand them. Read Lessons in Comprehension, trust Serafini, and help your students learn the strategies they need to comprehend a variety of texts.

DIBELS is the worst thing to happen to the teaching of reading since the development of flash cards. - P. David Pearson</ul>
Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) is wildly popular up and down the local and state education hierarchies. It's easy, quick, and an approved Reading First assessment tool. So what's not to like? Everything. In The Truth About DIBELS you'll find out why teachers, administrators, and reading researchers nationwide are emphatically resisting the insidious influence of DIBELS. Well-known education writers - including P. David Pearson, Robert Tierney, Sandra Wilde, and Maryann Manning - tell you how DIBELS hurts students and teachers and why impairs learning and teaching. They present chapters that: <ul>
<li>dispel the science and methodology that "support" DIBELS</li> <li>critique the validity of the information that DIBELS spits out</li> <li>demonstrate how DIBELS warps instructional planning to fit its limited measurements - and to fit the political ends of its creators and supporters</li> <li>expose the fiction behind its supposedly miraculous success rates</li> </ul>
If DIBELS is creeping into your classroom, school, district, or state - or if it's already taken over - read The Truth About DIBELS. Then use its accompanying CD, loaded with a complete anti-DIBELS PowerPoint presentation, to show colleagues, policy makers, or parents that when it comes to reading assessment, DIBELS just doesn't work.
