This much-needed resource addresses the wide range of reading assessments educators must be able to use and understand to effectively assess, instruct, and to communicate across disciplines. Separate chapters focus on informal classroom based assessment, progress monitoring, individual norm-referenced assessment, and group norm-referenced or ‘high-stakes’ testing. Each of these chapters concludes with useful tables listing some of the most commonly used assessments and their psychometric properties.

From the Back Cover
Bell/McCallum, Handbook of Reading Assessment
Comprehensive, readable, and filled with numerous authentic examples, the Handbook of Reading Assessment addresses the continuum of reading assessments from informal, classroom-based to high-stakes formal testing.
Reviewers rave about the Handbook of Reading Assessment:
“The Handbook is a powerful resource to help readers carefully consider and select assessments to inform instruction. The authors address the areas of reading identified by the National Reading Panel, discuss various models of reading, and present guidelines for educators whose students may be at the elementary, secondary, or post-secondary levels. In addition, the authors have created an Inclusive Model of Reading that will aid educators in understanding the nature of common reading problems. I would highly recommend this Handbook.”
-Cheryl L. Cooke, PhD., Stillwater Area Public Schools
“The material is very helpful and inclusive. It helps teachers with recording and interpretation of results.”
-Margaret A. Deitrich, PhD., Austin Peay State University
“The discussion of intelligence and reading level is on point, relevant, and a strength of this text.”
-Bill Clarke, Literacy Coordinator for Blackstone Academy Charter School
