COCA

The coca is meant for students in the first and second grade. the test is given to student individually and is comprised of two separate forms. both forms come with administrative protocols, information text, student score sheet and scoring guide. the coca is designed to include opportunities to ask the children questions during the reading of the text. It assesses different dimensions like comprehension strategy use, knowledge of info text features, comprehension of graphics and vocabulary. The assessment technique can be done once a yr or even more often to evaluate how a student is progressing. The coca can also be done with every student or just the ones of concern in groups.

I thought the concept of the coca is great. i also like that there are two different versions so the child isn't constantly reading the same thing. although its done individually it only takes about 15min so it doesn't take that much time.
