Dalla quarta di copertina

Too often teachers are asked to simply report whether or not students are at grade level in reading or writing, based on single or narrow measures. Profiles, on the other hand, offer a wider lens, permitting the teacher to notice and record students development across different dimensions of literacy.

What do reviewers say?

I m impressed with the authors efforts to include background, assessment and instruction in one text. This is (a) major undertaking and one the field definitely needs.
