The Ontario Human Rights Commission’s Right to Read inquiry concluded that running records and reading level assessments have not been effective in identifying students who need additional support or in providing teachers with accurate information to guide instruction. We now know that there are more effective ways to understand student reading skills and ensure that students are receiving the instruction that they need. This handout highlights why reading levels should be reconsidered, and frames the who, what, when, and how of different purposes for assessment: screening, diagnostic, progress monitoring, and outcome evaluation.

This handout builds educator knowledge of effective assessment practices to support explicit and systematic instruction of foundational reading skills.
