Diverse procedures need to be used to appraise pupil progress in reading achievement, because it takes different approaches to appraise in a comprehensive manner what pupils have learned in reading. There is much to evaluate, including knowledge acquired, skills developed, and attitudes fostered. Approaches which might be used include: (1) students keeping diary, log, or journal entries which combine reading and writing; (2) anecdotal teacher records; (3) rating scales; (4) checklists; (5) setting high standards; (6) standardized tests; (7) observation of achievement in reading; (8) teacher self-evaluation; and (9) pupil portfolios.
