Future and practicing classroom teachers will learn how their daily classroom activities can yield valuable insights about what students can do, how they learned to read and write so far, and what possibilities exist for alternative instruction in the future. Pre-service and practicing reading specialists and special educators who are required to use standardized measures will learn the limitations of these tests. They will also learn how to supplement or refute such results with careful analyses of authentic reading and writing performances.
