of learners.
INTRODUCTION:
Assessment is essential for guiding instructional
decisions and evaluating the reading progress of
learners. Assessments that are performance- and
observation-based provide important information
about kids' literacy, comprehension, and reading
skills.
PERFORMANCE-
BASED
A performance-based assessment, in
general, is the ability of learners to
apply the knowledge and skills they
have learnt during a unit or units of
study. It requires students to apply
higher-order thinking skills in order
carry out a task or produce a product
(Chun, 2010).
Here are some examples of performance-
based assessment tasks for
teachingreading:
1. LETTER KNOWLEDGE
2. PHONEMIC AWARENESS
3. DECODING
4. FLUENCY
5. READING COMPREHENSION
LETTER KNOWLEDGE
It is the ability to connect letters and sounds. Giving a
learner a list of letters and asking them to identify
each one is one way to test their letter knowledge.
Asking a learner to sort the letters out of a collection
of letters, numbers, and symbols is another example.
Additionally, teachers can require students to divide
and sort letters into uppercase and lowercase
categories.
PHONETIC AWARENESS
The ability to recognize as well as interact
with sounds in words. These tests examine
how well students comprehend how
sounds combine to form words. It is
possible to instruct learners to mix spoken
word parts together or to break spoken
phrases up into individual words.
DECODING
The method of identifying words is through letter-
sound correspondence. The process of turning
written words into spoken language. An evaluation
that looks at a child's accuracy in reading looks at
their decoding abilities. A test of this kind can
involve asking students to read a passage of text as
accurately and clearly as they can. Any errors made
by the student are noted by the teacher, who then
evaluates them to decide what kind of instruction is
required. A further way to evaluate a student's
decoding abilities is to give them a list of isolated
words and have them read each one out loud.
FLUENCY
The ability to automatically read words in connected text.
It speaks about speech production's smoothness, speed,
effort, and continuity. Additionally, linguistic production,
skill, or knowledge are described using it. One of the most
popular ways to test fluency in learners is to have them
read aloud a piece for one minute. Words that are
mispronounced or skipped are not recorded. The total
number of correctly read words determines the reading
fluency rate of a learner.
READING COMPREHENSION
The method of interpreting a text's meaning.
Assessments of reading comprehension come in
a variety of forms. One kind entails having
students read a chapter that is appropriate for
their reading ability and then respond to factual
questions regarding the subject matter. In a
second kind, students respond to questions that
imply knowledge from the text. In a third kind,
learners’ complete words that are lacking from a
passage.
OBSERVATION-BASED

When teaching reading, observation-based assessment
uses systematic student observation of their reading
habits, methods, and skills to guide instructional
decisions. It is feasible to assess talents or abilities that
are challenging to measure using "traditional"
evaluations by utilizing observational assessments,
which involve an observer rating a participant's
performance while watching them complete a task.
Examples of assessment tools are as
follows:
1.CHECKLIST
2.RUNNING RECORD
3.ANECDOTAL RECORD
4.WORK SAMPLES (i.e.
RETELLINGS)
5.READING CONFERENCE
CHECKLISTS
A checklist is an evaluation instrument
that enumerates the precise standards
for the abilities, traits, or behaviors that
participants must exhibit to successfully
demonstrate their reading skills.
Checklists typically include questions or
statements regarding how well the
participant met each requirement.
RUNNING RECORD
Is a special mechanism used in the Reading
Recovery approach to reading remediation
education for determining a child's reading level.
The specifics of a running record's design vary
according to the program and purpose for which
it is intended to be utilized. Teacher monitoring
learners while they read aloud and recording any
mistakes, self-corrections, and fluency indicators.
Running records offer valuable data about
learners comprehension skills, word recognition
abilities, and decoding abilities.
ANECDOTAL RECORD
To evaluate personal growth objectives, work
product quality, or student accomplishment. A
tool to observe progress in the development of
learners’ reading skills. Writing anecdotal reports
is a quick and simple way to document
observations of learning activities that take place
in the classroom, such as playing at the sensory
table, mealtimes, or interactions with other kids
WORK SAMPLES (i.e. RETELLINGS)
The act of remembering a story's events beginning, middle,
and end in chronological sequence. Retelling is a strategy
used to help readers develop comprehension, which is the
process of making connections between what they have
read and their own experiences to expand on what they
have learned. Retelling stories can be used by teachers to
assess how well their students understand them. They can
then utilize this knowledge to assist students learn the
subject matter more deeply.
READING
CONFERENCE
A planned conversation that utilizes the ideas of
dialogic teaching between a teacher and a student.
The student has chosen a text on their own, and it
will be the center of debate. Texts are selected from
a variety of "just right" books that have been
designed to meet each student's unique learning
requirements and reading preferences. Teachers
engage one-on-one with students to talk about
their reading objectives, difficulties, and progress.
Teachers can ask open-ended questions, offer
feedback, and provide individualized help to meet
the needs of each student during these
conferences.
Thank you for
attentive listening!
