Assessing Texts for Meaning: Understanding the Purpose and Criteria of Text Evaluation

In this week's discussion, we explore how to effectively assess texts beyond mere word recognition, emphasizing the construction of meaning. Drawing insights from Martens (1998), we delve into Retrospective Miscue Analysis and Non-Print Text evaluations, along with peer-reviewed criteria for text analysis. Consider your students' needs, interests, and prior knowledge when selecting texts, ensuring they align with educational standards and content areas. Complete your text evaluations using strategies such as the FLIP method and readability formulas. Assignment due by April 19th.
