The series Tools for Instructions and Reading Assessment is a companion piece to Dr. Jennifer Katz's book Teaching to Diversity. The series, which supports the three-block model of universal design for learning, offers two instructional guides, A Model Unit and Reading Assessment Program Guide for each grade from 1 to 12.

The Reading Assessment Program Guide includes:

• A guide that focuses on how to assess students' progress in reading comprehension and fluency/decoding
• Accompanying blackline masters and grade-specific rubrics
• Four levelled Reading Passages to use for assessment throughout the school year
