Help with literacy using a basal reader - Treasures?

by Oreo509

Aug 23, 2012

Has anyone used this program? I am using this with my 2nd graders and curious how or when you administer assessments? There are quite a few assessment books and I was wondering if you use those solely and when you give them individually, say the first week of school?
