Screening Tests To Identify Children With Reading Problems Are Being Misapplied, Study Shows

Screening Tests To Identify Children With Reading Problems Are Being Misapplied, Study Shows

This is a facinating article. If you go past the headline and get into the depths of the piece, you see they are advocating oral and silent reading along with evaluating how much the child comprehends through re-tellings. they are NOT advocating - as might be implied from the title - getting rid of oral reading tests.

If you look along the right side there are several related articles on reading comprehension and phonics, parents reading to young kids, and the connection between reading and writing.
