muffinmom Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Someone here recommended one for me last year, and despite my searching, I cannot find the link. And somehow I didn't keep it in my Favorites. It was free, online, and it compared to public school kids at the same grade level. Does anyone know the name?

BikeBookBread Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 :lurk5: I'd like to know too...after reading (and feeling pretty yucky about the jealousy that I'm feeling after reading) that thread about 3 year olds reading fluently, I'm worried that I'm doing something wrong!!!!

muffinmom Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 You're not--I promise! When my ds took it last year in 1st grade, he was reading on a 4th grade level (compared to PS kids, which probably doesn't mean all that much!). I also had him take the assessment at Rod and Staff (I think that's the one)--on that one he was reading on a older 2nd grade level. I'm sure the R&S test was stricter! Now that he's nearing the end of 2nd grade, I'd like to see how he's improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffinmom Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Is this it? http://www.test4free.com/ I saw this one. But the one my kid took didn't have an audio file. Maybe it has changed...I'll have to look further into this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Would this test work for you? Or here is a link to Sonlight's Quick Reading Assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinmom Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Would this test work for you? Or here is a link to Sonlight's Quick Reading Assessment. Thanks, Heidi. It's not the same one, but it might work. I was really hoping to find the original so I could compare results last year to this year, based on the same assessment approach. I have no idea why this has been so hard to track down! Believe me, I've been googling! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffinmom Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 I still can't find it. And I know somebody on this board knows about it, because they originally directed me to it. Maybe someone will see this and speak up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I did a search of posts you started 6 months and older and found this thread.

livetoread Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Is it the Dibel system that they use in OR? I used that for some testing for my kids. https://dibels.uoregon.edu/measures/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is where you got the link you are seeking. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76995 OK, that's embarrassing. I think originally I thought it might be much quicker to find it by asking. I did a search on the general boards but couldn't find anything that resembled it. (I've slogged through my old posts enough to know it takes me forever to find stuff.) Was so focused on finding it through googling that I forgot to go back and look.:o Thanks...I'm still checking through the links to find out which one...I'll let you all know.

The vast majority of 3yos just aren't ready to read, no matter what you do. I say, let them enjoy being three, and enjoy them being three. You have exactly one year of that, no more and no less, and you'll get to enjoy them being six (or whatever age they learn to read) when they get there. For what it's worth, my dd6 could read my name when she was 2.5, but she still didn't learn to read until she was five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in AUS Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Thanks for this. I think i used that test but at a different web address a year ago. Keen to see where my DD is at now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinmom Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 OK, I think this was the test. Thanks so much for finding it! Here's the best link http://www.readingkey.com/demo/index.htm .

Sebastian (a lady) Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Someone here recommended one for me last year, and despite my searching, I cannot find the link. And somehow I didn't keep it in my Favorites. It was free, online, and it compared to public school kids at the same grade level. Does anyone know the name? What about the Frye readability scale? You can take something that they are reading well and check it on the scale. You can also look for running records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
