the passage reading tasks in grades Phonics -- Words are read aloud to the student, and the student must decide which of 4 pictures represents an
item whose name contains either the same first or last phoneme as the word read aloud. Language s tool can be administered in English Notes

and vocabulary to answer e. Reading Comprehension Grades 1, 2, 3 -- For some items and depending on grade level , students must correctly
read isolated words and sentences aloud. A child may have a grasp on the more basic cognitive elements, but still have trouble blending these
elements together into a stable linguistic structure. A Classroom Curriculum Author: The student must blend the word together. Young children

a clear pause between each phoneme, and the student must correctly identify the word. Blending -- Teacher reads words aloud with a clear pause
between each phoneme, and the student must correctly identify the word. Two forms of the test are available for pre- and post-test applications.

deficit hypothesis. Oral reading accuracy across different levels of text difficulty -- Students read graded passages of text aloud while the teacher
monitors oral reading accuracy. Raw scores can be converted to percentile ranks and age-equivalent scores. Last Sounds -- Student must identify
the last sound phoneme in each word. The test was standardized using a representative nation-wide sample of students. Structural Analysis --
students read lists of nonsense words with real affixes aloud. Assessments come in two comparable forms Form A and Form B so they can be
used for pre-test - post-test. Notes There are 40 items in this test -- on each item, the experimenter says a word, the child repeats the word, and
then the child says the word again, omitting a specified sound a phoneme, phoneme cluster, or syllable.
