4.0 out of 5 stars Fine...room or improvement. Elementary reading only., July 14, 1999

By A Customer

The content is fine. The reproducible material, however, it not readily accessible. The pages could or should be perforated giving the option for removal. Also, the reproducible pages are mixed in with text such that it serves the organization of the book but not ease of access. These are minor but key if a classroom practitioner is conducting multiple informal assessments. Lastly, the content really serves elementary aged readers. Middle and upper grades may/will find the reproducibles' font size and graphics childishly condescending. This is unfortunate as there are pupils who would benefit from the content.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great starter for assessing in the beginning of the year, November 18, 2001

By	"nur24" (California) - See all my reviews

I used 2 of the rubrics, one for writing, and one for spelling, they are great to use with primary grades, and the students did feel empowered assessing their own writing.

I dont know if I could use it all year, its good for seasonal assessment, i.e. beginning of the year, mid-year, and year-end.

Its the first rubrics book Ive used and purchased so its a great beginner, very easy to use. I wouldve liked to see more in the way of using them regularly.
