COCA

Concepts of Comprehension Assessment (COCA) is intended for first and second graders and helps provide information about how they coprehend informational texts. There are two forms of COCA that can be used, Dragoflies and Salmon. The COCA gives you opprotunites to ask their students question during the reading of the text, that with the students answers can give you an insight on the students comprehension and knowledge and informational text. The prompts for these questions assess these four dimesions: comprehension strategy use, knowledge of informational text features, comprehension of graphics in the context of text, and vocabulary. I like the design of the Dragonflies book because it has the student fill in the blanks of the book, it lets you see if the students can figure out what words fit in.
