Early writing assessments shape classroom instruction, yet many standardized tools emphasize transcription over authorship. This comparative analysis examines three PreK assessments to explore how they define and evaluate early writing. Preliminary findings show transcription prioritization creates inequities, affecting how children's writing abilities are understood. Results underscore the need for holistic approaches that capture both transcription and authorship through authentic tasks, multimodal opportunities, and diverse narrative structures.
Student agency is considered an important dimension of classroom literacy learning. However, recent educational policies have pressured schools and districts to prioritize reading achievement at all costs utilizing prescriptive modes of instruction. This approach to literacy instruction fails to support students’ instructional, linguistic, and cultural needs. It is critical to understand literacy contexts in which student agency is supported. This research is on the development of an observational protocol to examine student agency.
A pilot study as part of a larger program evaluation project examined impact of oral reading fluency interventions that cultivated productive action across differences and divides in reading proficiency through equitable instruction. Findings highlight the relationship between oral reading fluency and reading proficiency. Students (n=19) experienced percentile rank gains on average of 4.8 in reading proficiency and effect size of d=1.48. Results support the critical need to develop oral reading fluency required of proficient readers.
