Assignment #2:
There are many different assessments available to measure students' learning outcomes. Firstly, students can participate in literature circle discussions of a short story, and then discuss what they've learned with the class and teacher. Secondly, the teacher can give out worksheets and quizzes to be marked. Additionally, the teacher can ask the class questions on text they've read, and call on students randomly to answer. The teacher can see where his/her students are holding based on their answers. Lastly, students can write summaries of what they've learned and the teacher should collect them and see what's written.
Assignment #3:
The Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI-5), is an individually administered informal reading inventory (IRI) designed to provide information about (1) conditions under which students can identify words and comprehend text successfully and (2) conditions that appear to result in unsuccessful word identification or comprehension. It's a great way of assessing students. Its' results can be used to estimate students’ reading levels, to group students for guided reading sessions, or to choose appropriate books for literacy circles, reading workshops, and independent reading.
A similar assessment activity I've seen is one where the teacher or teacher's assistant observes unnoticed how a student reads a book, and marks down the student's errors and corrections. Afterwards, the teacher focuses on the student's mistakes and works to correct them with the student.
QRI-5 seems like an educational and smart assessment method, with accurate results.

Yes, the QRI-5 does seem to be a great method of assessment to be used to reach valid results to inform instruction.
