A home for their hearts Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I'm wanting to assest my dc reading and see what grade level they are on. Does anyone know where I might be able to print something off online? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne/Ankara Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Here is one list: The San Diego Quick Assessment The list in which a student misses no more than one of the ten words is the level at which he/she can read independently. Two errors indicate his/her instructional level. Three or more errors identify the level at which reading material will be too difficult for him/her. 1 road live thank when bigger how always night spring today 2 our please myself town early send wide believe quietly carefully 3 city middle moment frightened exclaimed several lonely drew since straight 4 decided served amazed silent wrecked improved certainly entered realized interrupted 5 successful business develop considered discussed behaved splendid acquainted escaped squirming 6 bridge commercial abolish trucker apparatus elementary comment necessity gallery relativity 7 amber dominion sundry capillary impetuous blight wrest enumerate daunted condescent 8 capacious limitation pretext intrigue delusion immaculate ascent acrid binocular embankment 9 conscientious isolation molecule ritual momentous vulnerable kinship conservatism jaunty inventive 10 zany jerking nausea gratuitous linear inept legality aspen prevaricate barometer 11 galore rotunda capitalism amnesty risible exonerate superannuate luxuriate piebald crunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne/Ankara Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Here's another list to test reading level: Reading Words - Decoding Have your child read and pronounce correctly each letter or word starting with "A", the first 8 "words" are letters, then progress from left to right. When your child misses 5 words in a row, or is frustrated, then stop. Next, add the number of words using the number in brackets to help you, which keeps a tally of how many words your child has read up to that row. As you can see this scale goes all the way up to college level. This test only assesses decoding (reading words); it does not assess reading comprehension or spelling. Example: If your child reads all the way up to "quality" but misses the next 5 or 6 words then they would have a score of 44. A score of 44 = 4.4 grade level or 4th grade and fourth month.

TolleLegeAcademy Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I really like their reading assessment. I've used it a couple of times now and it is thorough and accurate (in my experience, anyway :) ) http://www.letsgolearn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kls126s Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have used these two. Nothing is perfectly reliable, but at least it gave me a pretty good validation of what I already thought. http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/articles/060899.htm http://www.members.tripod.com/~gleigh/readtst.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
