Intermediate CAFE™ in the Classroom: Helping Children Readers Thrive in Grades 3-6 (DVD)
Assessing young readers involves more than determining a reading level and moving them onto the next. Gail Boushey and Joan Moser developed the CAFÉ™ assessment system to help elementary students understand and master different strategies used by successful readers. CAFÉ™ is an acronym for Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding Vocabulary, and the system includes goal-setting with students in individual conferences, posting of goals on a whole-class board, developing small group instruction based on clusters of students with similar goals, and targeting whole-class instruction based on emerging student needs. The DVD/CD Workshop Kit includes video of many individual conferences, small group lessons, and whole class instruction in Joan Moser's K-2 multiage classroom. The companion CD presents workshop suggestions for use of the video in professional development settings, blank assessment forms for use in the teacher's conferring and planning notebook, student work samples, and profiles of students presented in the video to enhance the viewing experience. . . .

The Daily Five™ Alive (DVD)
It's a common dilemma: Teachers need time to work in one-on-one conferences and in small groups with students during literacy workshop. Yet assigning "busywork" to the rest of the class doesn't help students develop the essential reading and writing skills they need. Can we really expect young readers and writers to tackle challenging work on their own without constant support and intervention from teachers? . . .
