About the course
Take a deeper look at what we assess when evaluating our learners' ability to read. What we are actually assessing and what else could we be looking for?
Hear from teachers, get expert advice on what makes a good reader, and evaluate some tasks and activities for assessing these skills formatively.

What teachers say
The ideas suggested are very practical. The emphasis on metacognition is particularly useful because it helps learners become more aware of how they read, not just what they understand.
"I would recommend the course because it offers practical strategies that teachers can apply directly in the classroom, such as using authentic reading tasks, clear rubrics, and formative assessment to guide learners. These ideas are realistic, save time, and encourage positive washback by showing students that reading is useful beyond tests."
