Testing and Annotation: Facilitating Critical Thinking Skills during Assessments
Wednesday August 13, 2025 12:45pm - 1:45pm EDT
When our students take reading tests, do they actually READ the texts? Are they engaged? How do we know?

These strategies can also help us to gain insight into our students’ thought processes, providing us with valuable data.
