Chapter 5 Reading Assessment by O'Malley & Valdez Pierce
The chapter on reading assessment focused on the nature of reading in school, authentic assessment of reading, and using reading assessment in instruction. This semester I experienced teaching reading with short stories in the second and third grade Yup'ik classes. We spent time reading the book entitled, "Assaliayagaaq." The students wrote and illustrated the story in Yup'ik on paper. We checked for vocabulary understanding as we read in class as groups, pairs, and individually. We made vocabulary list for the story and practiced them as a class each day. We also made a story map to review the story at different times. A couple of students were delighted to read their storybooks in Yup'ik to their parents during parent/teacher conference. I hope to experience other reading assessment activity suggestions and examples from this reading chapter in the future.

Hi Theresa,
Sounds like so much activities are done at your Yup'ik class! How exciting for the students to have you there to try new assessment practices and lesson ideas! Keep up the wonderful work.
What a fantastic project! I wonder how the children in those classes remember that project. How did you assess it?
