This book is VERY helpful, but the title does not reflect that it is for K-3 teachers. I really liked the information it presented and the reproducibles are GREAT. Included are lists of primary reading and writing skills that were invaluable in assessing beginning and emergent readers. THis is a must have for primary educators using performance-based and portfolio assessment in the classroom!

This is a nice little recordkeeping book that contains checklists and forms for monitoring portfolio assessment. It is a terrific guide for addressing the portfolio process. It makes managing and recordkeeping easy. It is a quick reference how-to-guide for the portfolio process. Pages 2-3 provide a framework for the continuum of knowledge,skills and attitudes that should be address during the portfolio process (Bloom's Taxodomy). My only complaint is that the typeface used on many of the forms is too small, too faint, and too narrow for the primary grades because many of the forms also have a self-monitoring format. This is a great book for teachers who want an easy kickoff for getting started with portfolios as a form of on going assessment.

This book is great! It provides ready made reproducibles for a wide variety of work to be included in a portfolio. I love it!
