Understanding, Assessing, and Teaching Reading: A Diagnostic Approach

By Michael F. Opitz

Understanding, Assessing, and Teaching Reading is a comprehensive, practical, and easy-to-use text that helps teachers gather assessment data in order to make teaching decisions. The demand is greater than ever for teachers who understand why they do what they do in reading assessment. Good teachers must understand factors that affect reading and also assessment techniques they can use to better understand how these factors affect individual readers. Good teachers also ask questions about each student to help select, administer, and interpret the most appropriate assessments. In addition to building teachers' understanding of the reading assessment process, this text presents a wide variety of reading skills, strategies, and teaching techniques that are appropriate follow-ups to assessments.

The 8th Edition retains the many powerful assessment instruments and techniques that have made the text so widely used. New content includes: a dedicated chapter on assessing and teaching writing (Ch. 13); "bridge" features that emphasize how teachers connect understanding-assessment-instruction; and updated children's literature recommendations.

Really useful reference and guide for programmers.

This is a very interesting and useful book.Both as a reference and a tutorial. I have been reading a lot of Fortran 90 books, and I haven't found a singol one which isn't either incomplete, extremely confused,or irrelevant. Only exception being the thick ANSI reference. What you need to know, when using FORTRAN 90, is first of all, in my opinion, how to use modules and internal subprograms, notably the way variables are shared...
