Go to the Figures pgs. vi - viii and choose one figure that you will use in your instruction. Describe the what, why, and how this figure is important and will be put into your instruction.
What: In chapter 3, Figure 3.3 depicts the Instructional Assessment Chart. This chart is wonderful and explains what students need support with given a specific area of strength and area of difficulty. For example, 'If a student can recognize sight words but has difficulty answering literal-level questions about a text, then this student may need help with making predictions." The chart also provides which chapters to read/reference according to what the student needs help with. So handy!
Why: This figure is important because not only does it answer questions about where to go next with literacy instruction, but it leads you directly to where you need to go to provide specific supports for individual students.
How: I will definitely use this tool as a reference for literacy instruction. After assessing students, I can look at the results, identify what I need to teach next, and reference the correlating chapters as needed. This will be such a great tool to have!
