ElizabethB Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I use a combination of the wide range test and the NRRF test. The wide range test has a flat bell curve, it is a bit high on the low end and a bit low on the high end. But, it is quick! And, it records progress in increments, so it is good for my slower students to measure progress. The NRRF test is a better test overall, but measures grade levels in 1 year increments. It is also normed to late 1800/early 1900 norms, which are about 2 grade levels advanced from current norms, but are where a child taught with phonics should be, the current norms are lower due to sight word teaching. http://www.thephonicspage.org/On%20Reading/readinggradeleve.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best book for that is Geraldine Rodgers' "History of Beginning Reading," the e-book is $8.95 from Author House. I detail some of that in my History of Reading Instruction webpage: http://www.thephonicspage.org/On%20Phonics/historyofreading.html Also, I have spelling grade level test links with a bit of the history of spelling grade level norms: http://www.thephonicspage.org/On%20Spelling/spellingtests.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
