Afflerbach suggested that for children to become successful readers, they need to take responsibility for their own assessment, this includes; ensuring that they know how they are making progress and how they can progress further; throughout my experience on placements, I have seen that this can be a catalyst for further progression, involving the children in their own learning allows them a sense of responsibility and enabled them to partially take control of their own learning. OFSTED support Cowie here in stating that: “Children should be involved in the assessment of their progress and receive regular supportive feedback on their work”.
