The Literacy Teacher's Playbook, Grades 3-6: Four Steps for Turning Assessment Data into Goal-Directed Instruction

This book is an amazing resource that any literacy teacher should have in their professional development library. I read it cover to cover in two days and tabbed a lot of useful information. Jennifer gives you a lot of must have tools that you should be using in your daily instruction. She then teaches you how to analyze those tool in order to know where to bring your readers. This book has given me a clear plan for changes that I will be implementing into my classroom this upcoming year. I can't wait to get to know my readers better and be able to grow them from their strengths! Thank you for writing this amazing book!

I am a new teacher and I purchased this to go kore in depth into analyzing test results and I am very happy that I did. I love that it included student work and talks you through how they came to a conclusion on a score.

Near perfect condition, better than what I thought it would be. Saved me so much money!

Practical teaching based on research.

Absolutely a wonderful and easy to read practical plan for looking at assessment/ data collection. She's a great resource too. We communicated frequently on Twitter and was very helpful in guiding me through various steps with my classes and the group of teachers I led the book study with.

This book is an excellent guide for teachers to use to set clear, achievable literacy goals for and with students. Reading the book is like having Jennifer Serravallo as your personal coach as she teaches you how to analyze the data of one student, so that you can then replicate the process for your own students.

This book is wonderful for teachers looking to learn more about teaching literacy skills in the upper elementary classroom. This was my second Jennifer Serravallo book, and it was a great follow up to my first, The Reading Strategies Book.

Ms. Serravallo presented such relevant and insightful information in simple terms.I recommend this book for anyone considering ways to use everyday classroom tasks and assignments to guide your instruction with your students.
