Synopsis
K-3 educators--now ELLCO is better than ever The best-selling, field-tested observation toolkit has been revised to specifically assess literacy practices and supports in kindergarten and early elementary classrooms. This New edition is better than ever because it's
- Designed for elementary school. Assessment is more accurate with the ELLCO K-3 tool, reworked to reflect the evolving literacy skills of K-3 students.
- Streamlined. ELLCO K-3 has just two parts: a classroom observation to gather critical information about five key elements of the literacy environment, and the teacher interview, which supplements the observation with educators' firsthand reflections on their teaching practices.
- Easier to administer. Users will get more information about conducting classroom observations, scoring accurately, and limiting bias. They'll also get helpful new descriptors for all five levels of the rating scale that are more specific to elementary school settings and show professionals what to look for.

About the Author
Dr. Smith has always enjoyed working directly with young children and teachers of young children. Beginning in 1987, she collected and analyzed data for the longitudinal Home–School Study of Language and Literacy Development. Her work on that project brought her into many classrooms as an observer and researcher and propelled her interest in classroom environments and practices that promote children’s early language and literacy development. Later work conducted for the Center for Children & Families at EDC cemented her commitment to working directly with teachers, supervisors, and education leaders to promote conditions that positively affect children’s learning. Currently a consultant to EDC, Dr. Smith continues to engage in research, writing, and professional development with teachers of young children. An active volunteer in local schools and child care programs, she most enjoys spending time in the “living lab” of daily life with her three children.
