Video: Assessments for Learning Challenges.
       This is a series of videos from "Reading Rockets"

In this video students are observed for reading fluency, phonological awareness, comprehension, and decoding ability for reading and writing. This video also strongly suggests PD days to help teachers identify any signs of difficulties (theory and practice). Classroom support is vital to successfully help struggling students in reading and writing. Intervention needs to be done early and as soon as a challenge presents itself. Early years are the most strategic time to begin. Students struggling with reading and writing can have a high emotional and motivational impact on the student and often many withdrawl.
