Ways to Assess Reading in Reading Workshop

Stephanie Harvey and Ann Goudvis found that readers can share their understanding in the following ways:
· We listen to kids.
· We read kids’ written work (sticky notes/journals).
· We look carefully at their artwork.
· We confer with kids.
· We observe behavior and expression.
· We keep anecdotal records of conferences and conversations.
· We script what kids say, recording their comments and questions.
· We use rubrics to keep track of kids’ learning, assessing specific strategies that have been
taught.
I would love to hear from other teachers out there! Do you use any of these tools to assess? Do you have other ideas to assess student's reading during Indpendent Reading Time?
