1. Anecdotal records, Portfolio assessments, Running records, Standardized tests

2. Benchmark assessments, Rubrics, Standardized tests, Writing prompts

3. Checklists, Informal reading inventories, Portfolios, Rubrics

4. Portfolio assessments, Running records, Rubrics, Informal reading inventories

The correct answer is: Anecdotal records, Portfolio assessments, Running records, Standardized tests

The correct answer is A because it provides a well-rounded set of assessment types that cover different aspects of students' literacy development. Anecdotal records allow teachers to jot down observations of individual student behaviors or skills during literacy activities. Portfolio assessments involve collecting samples of students' work over time to demonstrate growth and progress in literacy skills. Running records are a form of observational assessment that helps teachers understand how students are applying reading strategies. Standardized tests provide a way to compare students' literacy skills to a larger group of students and can help identify areas of strength and weakness. Together, these four types of assessment provide a comprehensive view of students' literacy development. Regarding the other options: B. Benchmark assessments are used to measure students' progress at specific points in time, Rubrics define criteria for assessing student work, and Writing prompts are used to assess students' writing skills. C. Checklists are used to track students' progress on specific skills or behaviors, Informal reading inventories assess students' reading abilities, and Rubrics define criteria for assessing student work. D. Informal reading inventories assess students' reading abilities.
