Publisher's Synopsis
The "Hodder Group Reading Tests 1-3" form a series of nationally standardized tests to assess pupils' reading comprehension at word, sentence and continuous text level. They are designed as wide-range tests and are especially useful in assessing large, mixed-ability groups. There are three levels of tests in the series, and two equivalent forms (A and B) are provided at each level. Each test takes 40-45 minutes to administer.;The tests use conventional multiple-choice vocabulary, sentence completion and missing-word tests, and at each level the tests include questions which assess children's understanding of word meanings and of sentence structure. This specimen set contains a copy of the Test 3 teacher's manual and one copy each of test forms 3A and 3B - aimed at ages 9:5 to 13:6 -, which uses a multiple-choice format and write-in missing-word tests in continuous prose passages, and is objectively marked following a straightforward answer key. Standardized on over 13,000 children, the tests give norms as National Curriculum levels as well as reading quotients and reading ages.
