In this virtual book study series, Melissa will focus on her text, Reading Assessment: Linking Language, Literacy, and Cognition, an integrated approach to the evaluation of the skills that make reading possible and enjoyable. This text was written to support evaluators and educators in their efforts to learn more about students who struggle with reading. In this discussion, participants will develop a deeper understanding of assessment and how different types of tests can be used to learn about individual strengths and weaknesses. We will explore the theoretical underpinnings of reading, language, and cognition, and we will review the components of a comprehensive reading evaluation.

Session 2: Building the Roadmap to ensure Reading Success for ALL Presenter: Michaela Martin In order to build a comprehensive MTSS academic system that supports the reading needs for all learners, leaders and other decision-makers must understand the conceptual underpinnings of these systems so they can design plans that are realistic, sustainable, and transferable to their organization. Using a school and supervisory union as a model, Michaela shares the necessary components of an effective reading system focused on high-quality instruction and intervention; effective collaboration; and professional learning. Michaela will also share specific decisions and plans, as well as strategies and actions, that bring each system component to life.
