This is not assessing reading, amybe it is a grammar or vocabulary item
This item is definetely a vocabulary item or grammar one. Where is the comprehension part? I mean, wh-questions or true or false statements or guessing words from context. Those items will make it a reading one. What are you really testing the students' memory in terms of vocabulary, grammar?
Hi Erick,
I think you're trying to test spelling.
my dear friends I think that for comprehension I would just use a check list for the students to indicate with a check mark what the person talked about. However, Rosy sent us Weir, remember? it tests reading according to him. it could be more complete but the level doesn't allow more or would make it impossible to answer for the kids.
In my particular opinion, I think this kind of activity should be labeled as spelling or vocabulary; not reading comprehension. Besides, I think it would be better if students were provided with the words they need for completing the text instead.
