Do you know what "CloZe" Reading is? $1.00 while it lasts!

Hello Friends~
It's Dianna here today with you from Sassy, Savvy, Simple Teaching! I'll be here each month on the 25th! Click below to follow me over on my blog.

What is "CloZe" Reading?

Cloze Reading is reading closure practice required when readers fill in the blanks left in text. Readers use their knowledge and prior experiences they have. Cloze Reading helps to model problem solving reading strategies. When text is omitted, readers need to use reading strategies and cues in the text to complete sentences. When using this as an instructional strategy, teachers help students focus on: phonics, visual cues, sight words, vocabulary, predicting and cross checks. This type of activity help student's use of language structure cues, meaning cues, and background knowledge to predict unknown words.

I have created 2 volumes of my Primary Cloze Reads intended for students in grade K-3 along with struggling students in grade 4-5. 

Each volume of my products include:

-What is CloZe Reading
-Teaching Points for using this product
-Common Core Anchor Standards

Primary CloZe Reads Vol. 2 [BRAND NEW!]

Hi Friends~
It's Dianna from Sassy, Savvy, Simple Teaching! I'm so excited to be back this month with you again here on our collaborative blog. Remember, I'll be here the 23rd of each month.

[click on the photo above for a direct link, make sure to follow me for updates]

So I'm here this month to talk to you all again about Dibels. Dibels is an assessment known as a "screener". This type of assessment is very informative with the right set of data eyes.  Dibels stands for: Dynamic Indicators of Early Learning Skills. Dibels assessments are a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of early learning skills from Kindergarten through 6th Grade. They are designed to be short [1 min.] fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills. [University of Oregon]

I have been using Dibels assessments [all versions] since paper/pencil and the Palm Pilot in 2004-2005 school year. I was like most at first, confused, hated it, but when you understand the data of an assessment then you begin to like it. If you never look at the data in this assessment other than the color, you will never understand it. 

So I have a brand new products today that are geared towards the Dibels Daze assessment, but even if you don't Dibel it will work for anyone!
