READS or Reading Evaluation and Decoding System is an attempt to evaluate second language learners reading proficiency accurately. The analysed results could be used to gain a deeper understanding of the learners' reading standards. READS is made up of three components; Encoder, Analyzer and; Decoder. The principle behind READS is similar to the notion of assessment by Routman (2003), in which she assesses the data collected, evaluates the data and then makes the necessary adjustments in her teaching instruction to meet the needs of the learners. With READS, ESL teachers can administer the test and the scores obtained from the test can then be analysed. The results obtained can then be cross-referenced with the Reading Matrix to find out the band in which the learner belongs. After that, the teachers, learners and even parents can refer to the Descriptors of Reading Abilities to decode the learners' ESL reading abilities. Learners who are identified as below standard or at academic warning can then be given early intervention through appropriate reading instructions. As the current evaluation system does not provide specific information with regards to learners' reading proficiency, ESL teachers could now use READS as a formative assessment to assist their learners achieve competence in ESL reading. Teachers wishing to try READS, must use the test instrument in conjunction with the Reading Matrix, Performance Standards and Descriptors of Reading Abilities to gain accurate information with regards to their learners' reading proficiency and consequently plan reading lessons tailored to the needs of their learners.
