PERCEPTIVE READING

3. Reading is when someone looks into a
written text and starts to absorb information
from the written linguistic message..

4. Importance of Reading Assessment
Administering a variety of reading assessments is an integral
part of instruction. It allows teachers to take an active role in
making decisions about the goals of instruction and the content
of learning.
Assessments provide information that is fundamental in helping
teachers to determine what to teach and how to teach it,
Thoughtful reading assessment allows teachers to maximize
their time and focus on matching instruction and content to
goals. When an assessment is directly aligned with instruction,
both the teacher and the students benefit.

5.  They help us to analyze the learner’s performance, both
quantitative and qualitative, as it represents both product (what
the student has learned) and the process (how the student
learns best).

6. Perceptive Reading
Perceptive reading - is focused primarily on bottom-up
processing.
What is bottom-up processing in reading?
Bottom-up processing can be defined as sensory analysis that
begins at the entry level—with what our senses can detect. This
form of processing begins with sensory data and goes up to the
brain's integration of this sensory information.

7. At the beginning level of reading a second language, the
fundamental tasks include recognition of:
 alphabetic symbols
 capitalized and lowercase letters
 punctuation
 words
 grapheme-phoneme correspondences - Being able to
match a phoneme( sound ) to a grapheme (written
representation) and vice versa.

tasks, implying that the learner is in the early stages of
becoming ‘literate’. Items include Reading aloud, written
rsponse and multiple choice
 Reading aloud - The assessment is of reading
comprehension and oral production. The students
separate letters, words and or sentences and read
them one by one. The teacher choose a story that is
appropriate for the student’s profeciency level.
Reading fluency is graded accordingly.

 Multiple Choice
Directions: Circle the “odd” item, the one that
doesn’t “belong”.

10.  Picture-Cued
 Students are shown a picture. At the bottom of
the picture are words. The students read the
word and point to a visual example of it in the
picture. For example, if the picture has a cat in
it. At the bottom of the picture would be the
word cat. The student would read the word cat
and point to the actual cat in the picture.
 cat

11. Selective Reading
a selective task is to ascertain one’s reading recognition of
lexical, grammatical, or discourse features of language within a
very short stretch of language. Items such as picture-cued
tasks, matching, true/false, multiple-choice, etc.
Expected answers include sentences, brief paragraphs, simple
charts and graphs, and brief responses as well.

12. TEST QUESTION TYPES FIT FOR SELECTIVE
READING

 Gap-filling tasks

13.  Extensive Reading
extensive reading applies to texts of more than one page up to and
including professional articles, essays, technical reports, short

Global understanding is the goal for assessment. Top-down
processing is assumed for most extensive tasks.

14. Types of Test in an Extensive Reading
Skimming tasks are to get the main ideas; summarizing (a synopsis
or overview of the text) and responding (personal opinion on the
test as a whole). Note-taking and outlining are both used frequently
