In it, Jennifer Serravallo narrows the distance between assessment and instruction. She maps the four fiction and four nonfiction comprehension goals she presented in \u003cem\u003eThe Reading Strategies Book\u003c\/em\u003e to fourteen text levels and shares sample responses that show what to expect from readers at each. \u003cp\u003eJennifer simplifies text complexity and clarifies comprehension instruction.
