STUDENT ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTION MANUAL

FOR VOLUNTEERS
Important reading:
As a teacher / volunteer always ensure that we are approaching students at the right time with
encouragement for the assessment process. Therefore, need to create a conducive environment
in the classroom before you began an assessment process.

The teacher needs to start the process with a Balgeet or game, where all students will take part
and feel comfortable before the assessment process. It is essential that children are relaxed and
not worried about how they are going to perform. A friendly conversation with the student prior
to the assessment always helps such encouraging environment for students.

Many times it happens in the classroom when teacher/volunteer is engage with one student and
during the process other students are together to watch how their peer is performing. This kind
of situation creates fear or pressured for student during assessment. To avoid such situation, if
possible teacher/volunteer needs to engage remaining students in the class with other reading
or writing activity.

Encourage the student. Be patient. Give the student enough time to read, to think and to solve.
Appreciate and understand the attempt that the student is making!

DESCRIPTION FOR HOW TO ASSESS
COMPETENCY OF STUDENT
HOW TO ASSESS READING COMPETENCY OF STUDENT

Beginner
 What is a mistake and what is not: As you listen to children read, you may hear the
following. Here are examples from Hindi:

What is not a mistake

 ‘ata’ is read as ‘atey’ or ‘chahta’ is read as ‘chahtey’ or ‘hai’ is read as ‘tha’ etc. There
may be variations in children’s reading due to local pronunciation or usage. Do not consider
this a mistake.

 A word is replaced with another word of the same meaning while reading. For example:
the text says ‘barsaat ka mausam’ but the child reads it as ‘barsaat ka samay’. Do not
consider this a mistake.

 Usually if a child is told to read again carefully, she will read again and in most situations will
not repeat these mistakes.

 At times children may read the word wrong – such as ‘neend’ is read as ‘nadi’ or ‘maja’ is
read as ‘jama’. It is also the case that sometimes a child skips a word. Here too, if a child is
told to read again carefully – either she reads correctly or she continues to make the same
mistake.

What is a mistake

 If in spite of reading the same text several times, the child is repeatedly reading a word
wrong or not reading it at all, then these have to be treated as mistakes and this means
the child is having difficulty in reading that level.

 If the child reads the same word incorrectly more than once, it will be considered as
only one mistake.

 In a paragraph, if a child makes more than 3 mistakes of this type then she cannot be
Considered a ‘Paragraph Level’ child. Similarly, in a story, if a child makes more than 3
mistakes of this ype then she cannot be considered a ‘Story Level’ child.
