Overall Method of Assessment

     The assessment of the student's progress was in three forms (triangulation). First, interaction with the students (discussion) took place. Conversations centered around the children's perceptions of themselves as readers.  Second, observations of   the student's reading behaviors as they interacted with the printed material were noted on a teacher-made checklist once a month. Third, performance analysis was noted. A teacher-made checklist was used once a week to identify the sight words read by the  children from the class word wall. In addition, student's self-reflections of their reading experiences were noted. Data were collected  by the teacher/researcher as as well as by the two assistant teachers. The three observers compared their observations.
