ABSTRACT
In this descriptive study fifth-grade children were tested in three varying contexts to determine the effects of adult support and regulation on their ability to read words in isolation and to read connected discourse. This study provides support for dynamic assessment contexts which invite children to use language in more natural ways than has been possible in traditional assessment contexts. The findings are discussed in relation to Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development.
