Reading Assessment & Instruction - Chapter 10 Peregoy & Boyle

The reading assessment and instruction chapter addressed on various aspects of teaching reading. The discussions began with the theoretical view of language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Reading assessments focused on processes of mature readers and how non-native English speakers bring their background knowledge, language knowledge, word recognition, vocabulary, and comprehension to help their learning in process of reading. Others included were the description of informal reading inventory and how to determine a student reading as an Independent, Instructional, or Frustration level; and other ways of evaluating learners in reading, such as in Echo reading, Guided Reading, and Read Alouds. I would like to experience some of these reading assessments with my students in various grades to see if they will actually work with the Yup'ik reading. It will be interesting to find out which reading assessment and instruction will benefit the learners.
