As an adaptive test, readers and pre-readers will be assessed for different skills.
Pre-readers will be assessed in:
- Foundational reading skills
- Phonological Awareness- Noticing the sounds that make up spoken words, blending sounds to make words, and segmenting words into sounds.
- Phonics/Word Recognition- Connecting letters to sounds and written words to spoken words.
- Language Comprehension- Understanding words, sentences and groups of sentences in spoken or written language.
- Dyslexia screening (grades K-3 only)
- Flags students who are on track to be in the bottom 10% of their grade level for reading skills.
- Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN)- Measures the student's ability to quickly say the names of objects they recognize. People with slower RAN speeds often struggle with reading.
Readers will be assessed in:
- Oral reading fluency: reading aloud that shows an understanding of the passage
- Literal comprehension: understanding basic facts directly stated in the passage
