Reading Attitude Surveys
The beginning of the year is a perfect time to administer an elementary interest inventory and a reading attitude survey. The printable recording sheets are an easy way for teachers to analyze results to learn more about their students. Once teachers know students' feelings about reading and their interests this information can be incorporated into instruction to lead to more student engagement. Administer again at the end of the year to track students' growth! #thereadingroundup #readingsurvey
