Remember that I’ve argued that it’s important to monitor students’ behavior? How about behavior in decoding?

Erica Lembke and Todd Busch provided a readily applicable guide to monitoring generalized decoding competence. Many readers may recognize the idea as “curriculum-based measurent.” That’s correct!

The description that Lembke and Busch wrote is quite clear and immediately applicable. It explains why and how to monitor students’ reading perforamance. Get a free copy at Tutorial #4: Curriculum-Based Measurement in Reading: Oral Fluency Instruction from http://TeachingLD.org.

Now, no one should think this tutorial is a complete assessment of reading competence. There are plenty of others, not just about decoding competence, but also about comprehension. Stay tuned. I’ll drop a note about comprehension soon!
