Synopsis

You Never Asked Me to Read presents the case studies of eight students who have had difficulty learning to read and write and for whom traditional methods of testing have proven inadequate. This book shows what testing they have undergone and what authentic measures can do for them. In You Never Asked Me To Read, you will get to know Andrew, Sadie, Mike, Jason, Kristen, Terry, Tara, and Jeff as readers, writers, and people, whose lives can be changed by better literacy assessment.

This text allows the reader to think along with the author during the administration, recording, observation, and analysis of students' actual reading and writing. It presents theory and research, but never loses sight of the children's stories.

Future and practicing classroom teachers will learn how their daily classroom activities can yield valuable insights about what students can do, how they learned to read and write so far, and what possibilities exist for alternative instruction in the future. Pre-service and practicing reading specialists and special educators who are required to use standardized measures will learn the limitations of these tests. They will also learn how to supplement or refute such results with careful analyses of authentic reading and writing performances.
