Bloom’s Taxonomy
Bloom’s Taxonomy, developed by Benjamin Bloom,
divides cognitive objectives into six categories
ranging from simple to complex. Milliken’s Reading
Well series provides opportunities for children to
meet these six objectives.
Knowledge is the ability to memorize information
and recall specific facts.
Skills include recording, outlining, listing, discriminating between facts and opinions,
classifying items, distinguishing between definitions and examples, and summarizing
material.
Comprehension is the ability to grasp the meaning of what has been learned rather
than simply memorizing facts.
Skills include comparing and contrasting like and unlike items, identifying steps in a
process, interpreting charts and graphs, translating verbal material to mathematical
terms, estimating consequences, patterning, and predicting outcomes.
Application is the ability to use material previously learned in new situations.
Skills include inferring, estimating, applying concepts to new situations, ordering,
sequencing, understanding changes in word meanings, and constructing graphs and
charts.
Analysis is the ability to understand both the content and structural form of material
and the ability to break material into its component parts.
Skills include writing analogies, decoding, using logic, drawing conclusions, predicting
sequences, making inferences, and distinguishing between cause and effect.
Synthesis is the ability to put parts together to form a new whole.
Skills include planning, deductive reasoning, creative thinking, testing hypotheses,
drawing conclusions, problem solving, and planning a project.
Evaluation is the ability to use definite criteria to judge the value of material for a
given purpose.
Skills include developing and evaluating criteria, determining appropriateness and
relevancy of information, discovering common attributes, and evaluating material for
extraneous information.

Using Student Assessments
Assessment forms can measure student progress on a variety of reading comprehension
skills. They also enable you to track a child’s literary development over time. Completed
forms can be shared with students and their parents, used as motivational tools, and
used as guides when completing report cards.
Individual Activity Assessment
Most activities in the Reading Well series provide opportunities for students to sharpen
several reading comprehension skills.
The Individual Activity Assessment form can be used as a follow-up for any activity in
this book. A copy of it can be attached to the completed activity for students to take
home.
Oral Reading Assessment
This form allows you to track students’ oral reading skills. It can be used on a monthly or
quarterly basis and will be a helpful reference tool at parent/teacher conferences.
Story Summarizing Assessment
This form provides a means to assess a student’s reading comprehension level through
oral or written summaries completed by students.
When used to assess an oral summary, the form can be completed with the student at
the end of the summary.
For written summaries and/or book reports, this form can be attached to the student’s
work and sent home for parent review.
Student Reading Comprehension Skills Assessment
This form allows you to assess a student’s overall level on many reading comprehension
skills. It can be used on a quarterly basis to track progress and provides valuable
information for parents about their child’s progress.
Student Reading Log and Assessment
This form is a self-assessment tool for students as well
as a progress report. It provides an opportunity to
learn at what level a student is comfortable reading
and to suggest appropriate reading material for the
future, providing input for both students and parents.
