Abstract:

The science of teaching, that is the ways the methods and the approaches, has changed greatly in the last decades. The teacher no longer goes to class to simply present a piece of information but has to find new and better ways to motivate the students. The stress is no longer on offering information but on having the children discover it.

The method of assessment in itself, has changed along with the method of teaching. Assessment today no longer means reproducing a piece of information word by word but it means finding answers. There are parts of the world where the process of assessing doesn’t even require the presence of an assessor. This may be the case with children who live kilometers and kilometers away from school.

Teaching and assessing do go hand in hand and in a way the second is no longer the end of the first but a continuation of it.

A bad assessment prevents the teacher develop balanced social relations and forms barriers in the learning process.

This paper aims to highlight the effectiveness of the assessment to compensate and correct learning difficulties in general and the difficulties of learning especially reading, playing some results of an experiment expandable during the current school year.
