encouraging extensive reading and reflective response. By harnessing
the literacy power of the graphic novel, teachers can motivate readers,
especially reluctant readers or students at risk, to become successfully
engaged with an accessible and entertaining form of narrative.

This book is about
learning and, more importantly, about one of the activities that
is at the heart of learning: giving students timely and specific
feedback on their work. Reality Check: Assessing for Achievement is written with the aim of helping students on their journey to literacy. It recognizes that student learning - like their full participation in the economies, cultures, and future of our world - cannot be left to chance.
