2. Make Instruction Responsive
LitCamp: The program includes word- reading skills assessments that allow teachers to pinpoint students’ strengths and weaknesses and adjust instruction based on student needs. LitCamp assessment rubrics can be used as observational tools to help teachers focus on and evaluate important milestones in the developmental literacy continuum. Scholastic Scholar Zone Summer: The evaluation tools on the digital platform allow teachers to assess students on an ongoing basis, providing teachers and administrators with metrics to differentiate instruction. My Books Summer: The program includes a Summer Reading Journal where students can record and rate the books they read. Parents and teachers can use the rating option to engage students in conversations about a specific literary quality or interest in the topic.
Children obtain literacy skills at different rates because their experience and knowledge vary (Darling-Hammond, 2018). Data show that instruction is more effective when it uses assessments to measure students’ response to instruction (Lai & Schildcamp, 2019).
