Abstract
Since the 1980s, Extensive Reading (ER), sometimes called The Extensive Reading and Information Literacy Programme (ERIL), has been a common feature of reading pedagogy in Singapore schools. However, while such programmes have proliferated, few have been evaluated. At the request of the school’s principal, we conducted a responsive formative evaluation of a Secondary 1 Extensive Reading programme in one government-aided secondary school. This final report presents the framework, findings and three case studies involved in this year long evaluation. It also discusses our experiences with conducting a responsive formative evaluation during the 2005 school year, both in terms of process and outcomes.
