Jane, I work in a charter school and we too have moved from the basal readers into a more literature based reading instruction. In order to assess, we perform guided reading groups and determine whether a child is on, above, or below level through the use of running records. We also administer the DRA. We do not use number grades on the report card, instead we use letters: N, U, S, VG, and E. So if a child is reading on level he would receive a S and so forth. Perhaps you and your team can create a rubric to correlate the numbers on ure report card to below, on, and above level readers.
