Write a 750-1000 word reading assessment plan that includes creating and delivering instruction addressing diverse learning strengths and needs, as well as creating opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning in different ways. Be sure to include how assessments influence classroom environments. Use 3-5 scholarly sources to support your plan. Include examples of two formal and two informal assessments that you might use in your classroom that can be differentiated for diverse populations, and that would measure vocabulary, fluency, or comprehension. The assessments need to be created, but generic enough to be used in other units. For example, a “ticket out the door” and a “KWL” are examples of informal assessments that can be used to check comprehension (choose assessments other than the two mentioned).
