Book excerpt: " All too often, literacy assessments are given only for accountability purposes and fail to be seen as valuable resources for planning and differentiating instruction. This clear, concise book shows K-5 educators how to implement a comprehensive, balanced assessment battery that integrates accountability concerns with data-driven instruction. Teachers learn to use different types of test scores to understand and address students' specific learning needs.

Reproducible planning and progress-monitoring forms can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. "--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mid-level text of Flemming's successful series, Reading for Results hones students' comprehension skills and introduces them to the basics of critical reading. Featuring the author's trademark high-interest reading selections, this developmental text motivates students to complete numerous exercises and tests, while simultaneously fostering the idea that reading is a stimulating and exciting activity in its own right. Step by step, students learn strategies for improving their vocabulary and using SQ3R, a well-known system for how to effectively survey, question, read, recite, and recall material from college textbooks. Basic reading skills include how to find main ideas; draw inferences; locate supporting details; and understand charts, graphs, and tables. Two chapters are devoted to patterns of development, one on recognizing patterns in paragraphs and one on combining patterns in paragraphs and longer readings. The text's final chapter covers all the basics of critical reading: distinguishing tone; detecting bias; and analyzing arguments for errors in reasoning. New! Due to the growing emphasis on state exit exams, Flemming models both excerpts and exercises after these tests--emphasizing, in particular, the Florida State Exit Exam. New! More multi-paragraph readings prepare students for college-level texts, covering such topics as the founding of Liberia, the triumph of Lance Armstrong, and the painful effects of stereotyping. The Ninth Edition also includes a new sample chapter drawn from a psychology textbook. New! Completely revised, the critical-reading chapter now includes more material on purpose, tone, and bias which play a key role on the Florida exit exam. New! Chapter 5, Inferring Main Ideas, has been revised to include more discussion of inferences and how to draw them. New! Four new multi-page readings, including a lengthy discussion of ethical decision making, a topic explored further in the next book in Flemming's series, Reading for Thinking.

Book excerpt: In our overloaded lives, finding time to read is a true challenge. Yet, we occasionally hear great people, like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or Elon Musk, talk about how they maintain their reading routines or how their dedication to reading helps differentiate them from the crowd.You might have already read other self-development books on how to increase your reading speed. The problem, though, is that they all tend to offer pretty much the same advice: Expand your vision, stop your vocals, scan, skim, and so on. It's all good advice but is no longer applicable in the new digital world.This book is aimed at nonfiction readers who read under 50 books every year and want to up their game. Avid readers will also enjoy the book, as it provides a new perspective about reading habits. For entrepreneurs who are very tight on learning time, this book could be the remedy for your thirst for knowledge, helping you to keep your innovation-ball rolling on the industry's edge.Effortless Reading provides a new approach to reading that once again puts you in control of the exponentially growing knowledge stream, supporting you in achieving the level of success that you desire.Even if you are a slow reader, you can still apply the technique proposed in Effortless Reading. If you have never read any book before, following the formula in Effortless Reading will save you months of wasteful reading effort.The best part--you can spend as few as 15 minutes a day and still be able to build a sustainable and beneficial reading practice.In this book, you'll come across the following: Fundamentals of the reading mindset that distinguish a smart reader from a regular one. Pitfalls that stop people from building healthy reading habits. The recommended reading approach and the four elements those make it efficient and effortless. You might have realized that with today's deluge of information, you have to do something different to keep up. What stopping you from making every minute of your reading time counted?

Drawing on examples from history, business, art, and science, this book details nine of the most versatile, all-purpose mental models you can use right away to improve your decision making and productivity. This book will teach you how to: Avoid blind spots when looking at problems. Find non-obvious solutions. Anticipate and achieve desired outcomes. Play to your strengths, avoid your weaknesses, … and more. The Great Mental Models series demystifies once elusive concepts and illuminates rich knowledge that traditional education overlooks. This series is the most comprehensive and accessible guide on using mental models to better understand our world, solve problems, and gain an advantage.
