Description	Assessing reading involves assessing to encourage learning, assessing to monitor progress and provide feedback, assessing to diagnose problems, and assessing to measure proficiency. Good assessment must meet the conditions of reliability, validity, and practicality. It also should have a positive washback effect. Chapter 6 looks at ways in which teachers can make their tests reliable, valid, and practical, and describes a wide range of monitoring and assessment measures. These include speed-reading graphs, reading logs, various question types, and information transfer diagrams. The chapter contains many examples of assessment tools and special attention is given to cloze tests and comprehension questions. Book Name: Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing
