assessment
As said in the text, when grade level reading designations are applied to student it is “reading ability” but when they are applied to materials its is “readability”. Meaning that readability is referring to the the difficulty of the books, basically looking to see if the book is to hard for the student to understand. This whole concept is based off the fact that teachers need to assess materials and their students differently. Though they compliment each other by working together to assess students they are not the same. In one-on-one assessments teachers are able to see how the students works with the material, in a way assess the both the readability of the materials and the reading ability of her student in one session. In content area assessment the teacher may have to take more time to check but with the perfect balance the teacher can help their students for success. I drew this picture of a scale because I felt like as a teacher we need make sure there is a good balance of struggle and understanding for a student to learn, which can be made sure of and achieved through the good assessments.
