Online Reading Assessments
The progress assessments that accompany the Discover Intensive Phonics
at Home and Reading Horizons at Home software reading programs are
more broad and powerful than ever before, and can now be accessed online!
The reading assessments are made up of four components: Word Recognition, Phonemic
Awareness, Most Common Words, and Word Segmentation. With the Online
Reading Assessments,
you can assess student knowledge and print a report showing results from all four
areas of the test.
Progress assessments are given with the help of an administrator, so their results
are dependent on the administrator's listening skills and judgment.
Recognition Assessment
- measures a student's ability to rapidly read English words that incorporate a
variety of sounds. The assessment begins with easier level words and moves to progressively
more difficult words based on students' performance. The student's score is represented
by a grade level equivalency score.
Word Recognition Assessment Widget
- Similar to the Recognition Assessment above, this simple word recognition assessment
widget also helps to determine a students' reading grade level. Click instructions
on the widget to see how it works.
Most Common Words Assessment
- measures a student's rapid recognition of sight words. Specific sight words that
pose difficulties are identified.
Phonemic Awareness Assessment
- measures a student's ability to recognize individual phonemes and rhymes. The
use of graphics helps motivate and ensure students' knowledge of the vocabulary
used.
Segmentation Assessment
- measures a student's ability to accurately produce individual phonemes. Students'
difficulties with specific individual sounds are identified in context of nonsense
words to ensure that students are not reading memorized words. This information
assists in prescribing extra practice in phonemes that are difficult to pronounce.
You can also use the Reading Horizons at Home Online Dyslexia Assessment
