March/April: Grade 3
Reading: Engagement Inventories
The following information is taken from Jennifer Serravallo’s book Teaching Reading in Small Groups.
As we all know… When conferencing with children, a teacher’s dream is for the rest of his/her students to be engaged in reading. Unfortunately, a quiet room does NOT mean that students are engaged in reading. Sometimes it just means that students are day dreaming about recess quietly! :)
Engagement Inventories are used to:
determine what types of things distract a student from reading.
determine how many minutes a child can stay focused on a book (stamina).
determine if the student is turning pages at an acceptable pace.
are the child’s eyes on the printed page?

NewsELA: Binder
Newsela PRO uses percentile ranking to enable you to see how your students are doing when compared with all other Newsela students in the same grade.
Remember Newsela needs 8 quizzes in order to be able to make this determination.
