What is happening in the child’s environment. It also includes whether the child has any additional needs or which children/people are around the child as the child may act differently around different groups of friends and different members of staff. To assess young children in a setting you follow the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) the EYFS give guidelines as to what a child should achieve at what age or stage. To find out what stage a child is achieving members of staff, especially the key person, perform observations and record these. These observations should cover all areas which are Physical development, Communication and language, Literacy, Personal, social and education, Maths, Art and design and Understanding the world.

Alternative #2: Spelling Based Instruction, on pages 234 and 235, is an approach that focuses on each child individual level of knowledge. It is a good way to figure out where each child is in the process of learning to read, write, and spell; and then build upon in successfully. The text suggests an informal assessment by placing the children in the class into groups and have them write something. This observe what level they are on. Based on what level they are on, then move them into a group of children that are at the same level.

Using Expository Text in the Secondary Classroom Julia Ann Bonner Grand Canyon University Adolescent Literacy SED-535 Professor Mark Rowicki July 24, 2013 Using Expository Text in the Secondary Classroom The purpose of this paper is to define expository text and review some of the possible advantages and disadvantages of using expository text within middle school content area classrooms and why it’s important to our students reading comprehension now and in all their future academic and career endeavors. The paper will also explore five ways in which expository text is used to promote and increase the student’s comprehension skills in reading and provides examples of how different graphic organizers may be used with various expository texts. Definition Expository text is a form of writing whereby the main purpose is usually to provide information and facts in the most concise and logical way possible. It is also known as informational text and usually focuses on a specific topic that relays information directly relevant to that topic, without the additional irrelevant information that often decorates narrative text. Expository text provides an explanation of concepts and attempts not only to inform, but to persuade and explain concepts in an orderly and clear manner, often while connecting the relationships between ideas.
National guidelines must be followed for all students, thus states use standardized testing to evaluate all students within the school system. Often problems arise when students move here from other countries. Each state must measure the educational level of English Language Learners (ELLs) as they enter the school system. Once a student has been tested the school is able to place the child into a classroom that is appropriate for his/her level of comprehension. The state of Virginia uses W-APT, which is a test system set up for specific grade level clusters.
