Practical Applications

Assessing Reading Progress

Measuring Growth in Reading

Assessing reading progress helps teachers identify strengths and areas for improvement. Effective assessment guides instruction and supports student success.

Types of Assessments

  • Formative: Ongoing checks like quizzes and discussions.
  • Summative: End-of-unit tests or projects.
  • Informal: Observations and reading journals.

Using Data

Teachers use assessment results to tailor instruction, set goals, and communicate progress with families.

Connecting to Real Life

Regular assessment ensures all students get the support they need to become confident, capable readers.

Examples

  • A teacher uses weekly reading logs to track students’ independent reading.

  • Students reflect on their reading growth in a portfolio at the end of the semester.
