  11. Before After

  12. NAEP’s View of Reading “Contemporary research indicates that reading is a complex activity involving an interaction among the reader, the text, and the context in which something is read. It is an active process of building understanding rather than a passive process of simply recognizing words and ideas.” U.S. Department of EducationOffice of Educational Research and Improvement

  13. Key Features of SUPERA(Link to the NAEP Reading Assessment Framework) • Authentic literature (classic and contemporary) • Use of themes • Lively style and content • Rich experiences for diverse populations • Multiple assessments • Constructing, extending, and examining meaning • Integration of Reading and Language

  19. Content Benefits • Stimulates interest • Engages thinking—variety of item formats • Mirrors instruction—diverse problems • Provides real-world context—illustrations and photographs • Aligns with behavior appropriate to the age range • Reflects cultural diversity

  20. Comparable Assessment Districts can see how well Spanish-speaking students are performing relative to their English-speaking peers. • Empirically linked to English-language TerraNova tests • Comparable in quality, content, and design • Comparable objectives measured • Comparable numbers of items and item difficulty • Comparable reliability

  21. List of Authors Alma Flor Ada Rafael Alberti Yolanda Blanco Pablo Neruda Xavier Villarutia Original Literature Students are exposed to a rich variety of literary styles and genres that support performance. • Uses original Spanish-language literature written by highly respected authors from around the world • Reflects the diverse cultures of Spanish-speaking countries • Covers a broad range of authors and perspectives
