Assessment plays a critical and necessary role in planning and implementing
lessons. As teachers it is important that we use ongoing assessment to find
out what our students understand, what they don't understand, and where the
focus of the instruction needs to be. Assessing students' use of reading
strategies is an ongoing process. After modeling a strategy, it is important
to provide students with opportunities to practice the strategy.
