KEY into Evaluation

Range: 9+ years Purpose: To show how a competent reader would reorganise and make necessary inferences. Administration: Individual, Group (only as a part of a guided reading program)

The KEY into evaluation Kit includes:

• Copymaster book including 88 pages of paragraphs and texts (covering decoding ages 8-14+ years)
• Guide and Answer book.

KEY words with all answers are included, which demonstrate how a competent reader would reorganise and make necessary inferences.

Additional Guide & Answer books are able to be purchased by schools only once a full kit has been purchased. If more than one teacher is to be working with the resource, then each teacher can have their own Guide and Answers book, and share the Copymaster book.

It is not advisable to teach KEY into evaluation prior to teaching KEY into inference and KEY into reorganisation. It is adivsed to ensure that the skills of reorganisation and inference are well understood and used competently before embarking on evaluation.

Evaluation is a combination of these two skills, and therefore requires more 'reading between and beyond' the lines. There are more questions that require an abstract answer in KEY into evaluation than there are in the other resources.
