Teachers:

• Are you over using copies of reading and writing assessment recording sheets?
• Are you frustrated by trying to squeeze, or lengthen, what you want to record into restrictive prescribed boxes?
• Are you confused by different recording systems that complicate your job?
• Are you finding more Post-its and sticky labels on the floor than in your students’ reading and writing folders?
• Are you often misplacing ‘conferencing’ clipboards?
• Are you continually tracking your hole puncher or borrowing someone else’s to file loose pages into bulky binders?
• Are you reluctant to carry bulky paper filled student binders?
• Are you using Guided Reading sheets that do not meet your needs?
• Are you tired of transferring the same student information from one place to another?
• Are you lacking consecutively written evidence of a child’s progress in reading and writing over a year?
• Are you unable to identify focuses for mini-lessons in reading or writing?
• Do you loose track of who has and who has not been regularly conferenced in reading or writing in your classroom?
• Are you interested in using an effective recording method?

If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these questions then you need the Conferencing Book!
