Publisher's Synopsis
The widely-used "Edinburgh Reading Tests" provide a comprehensive series of diagnostic group reading tests, with a norm-reference which complements National Curriculum assessment in England and Wales. This test is part of Stage 1, and assesses a wide sample of the skills which make for reading competence. They reveal not ony what each child can do, but also indicate particular strengths and weaknesses, as well as giving an overall measure of reading attainment. Each test is made up of four or more separately timed sub-tests, each of which assesses different skills. These can be plotted on a profile form (printed at the back of each test) to help guide teaching programmes. For each stage, norms are given as reading ages quotients. The test runs parallel to "Form B" and is taken in two sessions, each lasting about 25 minutes.
