Assessment

I remember in elementary and middle school that I had to take TCAP tests in order to assess my skills in reading, grammar, math, and science. I always hated taking that test because it was the only large assessment the schools used to measure my level of reading and writing. Rubin's article provides various assessments such as the cloze test, Informal Reading Inventories, and running records focuses on certain areas that different children might be lacking. This allows for teachers to pinpoint exact areas in which a student needs help with. However, how and when would you administer these tests if the students wouldn't all be taking the same test? Would you create small groups and have each small group be taking a different assessment?

Here is a great example of running an assessment on fluency!:
