Bridging the Divide in Early Writing Assessment: A Comparative Analysis of PreK Literacy Measures

Fri, December 5, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, Floor: Mezzanine Floor, Celebrity Ballroom 6

Abstract

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.

Examining Student Agency in Practice: The Development of the Student Agency Observational Protocol (StAOP)

Fri, December 5, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, Floor: Mezzanine Floor, Celebrity Ballroom 6

Abstract

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.

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.
