What stuck out to me the most in Cunningham and Allington's chapter (10) about Assessment, was the importance of assessing and documenting your students' progress continuously throughout the year instead of just once or twice a year. I think that this is so important, because when you are more aware of each individual student's abilities, you as a teacher are better able to help them in the areas where they are lacking.

I completely agree! It is so important to keep records of the progress a student makes throughout the year. The only way we will understand what areas to help our students in will be to assess them throughout the year!
