Publisher's Synopsis
This fully interactive version of the trusted Edinburgh Reading Test 4 is for secondary-age students and adults, and is especially useful where there is some evidence of reading difficulties. The clear on-screen presentation, coupled with intuitive and seamless navigation through the test, engages the student and makes the test accessible for slower readers. Edinburgh Reading Test 4-interactive (ERT4-i) also provides automated scoring and instant diagnostic feedback, plus an unobtrusive (optional) 'extra time' assessment.
Like the pencil-and-paper test, ERT4-i profiles five different aspects of a pupil's literacy - skimming, vocabulary, reading for facts, points of view and comprehension - as well as giving a reliable overall standardised score and reading age. But additionally, it compares the student's performance over both the standard 45-minute test time and an extended 25% extra time where applicable, yielding evidence which might justify extra time in national examinations or a need for the support of a reader.
The ERT4-i CD-ROM comes with a two-year single-user licence, and makes light work of testing, diagnosing and addressing the needs of students with reading difficulties. It automates and streamlines the whole assessment process, freeing you to get on with other tasks while the student is actually taking the test.
