I HIGHLY recommend the book Day to Day Assessment in the reading Workshop; Making informed Instructional Decision in Grades 3 - 6. By Sibberson and Szymusiak. Honestly I taught a reading workshop classroom for years grades 5 - 6. Much of my doctoral research had to do with intrinsic motivation and also assessment (the good kind ) as integral to intrinsic motivation. This book is absolutely excellent in describinb the thinking and classroom practices that least to highly engaged and effective reading - the independent reading so critical along with some of the other balanced literacy needed - to complete the whole!!! Please please please check it out. It works for primary and middle school, probably hgih school if you have the flexible mindset that can see the underlying assumptions of the practices and figure out how to make them work at the different levels.
