Of special interest in the study is how parents, as key participants in reporting practices, make sense of and value the information they receive on their child's literacy progression and achievement. Also of interest is what parents say about the incompatibility or compatibility of the reporting practices.This paper presents a one-year exploratory study that had as one of its aims to examine parent views about what they count as effective reporting of literacy assessment in middle-schooling.
