The Marie Clay Literacy Trust ebook An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement 4E

What are young children learning as they engage with literacy instruction at school? Are they experiencing success or falling behind? How soon can we tell? An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement, 4th edition, 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, to monitor progress, guide instruction and reliably identify children for supplementary assistance. This fourth edition of Marie Clay's seminal text includes two important new developments; 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 and 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.
