The Listening to Reading—Watching While Writing Protocol (LTR-WWWP)

This is an informal formative assessment tool designed for use in the course of normal daily instruction or after daily instruction when reflecting on pieces of children's writing or recordings of their reading. It is not meant to replace any formal assessments you use but rather to help guide your observation/attention to particular aspects of children's reading and writing between assessment administrations, for example as an alternative to running records. Suggestions are welcome.
