I would recommend giving assessments a few times a year. I am doing an oral 
one in Sept, Jan and end of the year.   My students also keep all their work in 
a spiral in my room and that is a running record of their work. I   keep a 
checklist this year which will list the skill/strategy that we are working on 
and I will give a check , or plus or minus, on how the student is doing adn can 
also comment on that. We also report to parents every 5 weeks and that is a 
checklist with an anecdotal.
