An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement
by Marie ClayThis third edition of Marie Clay's highly-valued An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement presents her familiar assessment tasks designed for systematic observation of young children as they learn to read and write. Always respecting the author's intention, the editors have taken a fresh look at the way the book's message is communicated to teachers. Layout and expression have been refreshed to ensure clear understanding, and the administration and interpretation of each task in the survey have been carefully structured for consistent delivery. <p><p> The observation procedures arose from a theory of how children learn to manage the complex task of reading and writing continuous text. That process is described in Marie Clay's books Becoming Literate: the Construction of Inner Control; Change Over Time in Children's Literacy Development, and By Different Paths to Common Outcomes. The intervention described in Literacy Lessons Designed for Individuals makes use of these observation procedures.
An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement
by Marie M. ClayThis book provides teachers and school systems with essential information about how to assess young children's progress in literacy learning. The six tasks of the Observation Survey are used by teachers across the world to explore children's knowledge of early reading and writing, monitor progress, guide instruction, and reliably identify children for supplementary assistance. <p><p> This fourth edition of Marie Clay's seminal text includes two important new developments: 1. a revised task for assessing children's phonemic awareness and sound-letter knowledge is more sensitive to different rates of progress and to the difficulties some children might have; 2. updated norms for five of the Observation Survey tasks will enable teachers and schools to more accurately monitor and compare the progress of five-to-seven-year-old children across different aspects of literacy learning. <p><p> The observation procedures arose from a theory of how children learn to manage the complex task of learning to read and write continuous text.
