Building Literacy with Kaeden’s RWP Collection
Kaeden Publishing was founded in 1991 on a singular focus: to help young readers build strong literacy skills. Nearly thirty years and over 500 titles later, our mission hasn’t changed. Driven by a similar mission, the dedicated team at the Reading and Writing Project (RWP) at Mossflower.com developed a comprehensive literacy program that evaluates the student’s growth and informs instruction planning through detailed assessments. We’re delighted to partner with them to provide 22 Kaeden titles for the RWP Running Record assessments in levels A-K.
RWP - Books Your Students Will Love
The titles in Kaeden’s RWP Collection feature lovable characters and relatable experiences. Readers will follow along as characters observe and interact with the world around them, grow and change, and figure out how to solve everyday challenges. Students will strengthen reading skills, build confidence, and develop a love of reading with these engaging books.
Meaningful Assessment with RWP Running Records Kaeden’s RWP Collection is divided into two subsets: eleven beginning-of-year titles and eleven end-of-year titles. The RWP Collection is complemented by expertly crafted Running Record assessments, developed by the amazing team from Mossflower.com. The twenty-two Running Record forms (one per RWP book) provide a progressive, self-contained assessment resource for monitoring a student’s literacy skills. Carefully aligned with New York State learning standards in literacy, each RWP Running Record form includes:
● a book introduction
● the typed text of the book
● a checklist of level-appropriate reading characteristics
● a detailed scoring guide
● comprehension questions with sample responses
● space for the evaluator to record notes during the assessment
The RWP Collection and Running Record assessments enable educators to more effectively plan instruction and intervention. In addition to the Running Record forms, educators have access to the RWP Teacher Resource guidebook. This document provides detailed information about the assessments, how to effectively administer them, and how to use the data to guide future literacy instruction.
RWP - Evolving to Support Educators and Students
As the field of literacy instruction evolves, we continue to refine our content to meet the needs of educators and students. Guided by feedback from educators, we have worked diligently with the team from Mossflower.com to update our RWP Collection books and Running Record assessments. The revamped RWP Collection still features engaging characters and stories that young readers will love. Educators will appreciate the revised text, which is compassionate, accessible, and aligned with literacy standards.
