ASSESSMENT OF READING SKILLS: INSTRUMENTAL APPROACH

Abstract

Reading is a skill to be acquired by the student during the teaching-learning process. The article aims to present an experience report on the development of an instrument to assess the reading ability of high school students. The questionnaire with open and closed questions was developed addressing nine questions, such as: Text comprehension, Text interpretation, Vocabulary, Argumentation Analysis, Reading experience, Reading preferences, Self-assessment, Encouraging factors and Challenges in reading, to answer about the achievement of reading competence. It is concluded that the promotion of reading in high school is a crucial challenge for the educational and cultural formation of adolescents and young people, as well as for the development of a critical, participatory and transformative society.
