Introduction to the SAT
O The Stanford Achievement Test Series, with
a rich history dating from the twentieth
century, measures students’ school
achievement in Reading, Language Arts and
Mathematics. This Tenth Edition of the
Stanford battery (Stanford 10) provides
updated content that reflects the national
curriculum and educational trends of the
end of the twentieth century.
What is the SAT-10?
O The SAT-10 (Stanford Achievement Test)
consists of two levels that measure the
achievement of children in kindergarten and
the first half of first grade.
O The SAT will measure children’s skills in the
domains of reading and mathematics.
O It’s purpose is to assess the cognitive
development of children in order to establish
a baseline where instructional experience
may best begin.

O Phonemic Awareness
O Phonics
O Fluency
O Comprehension

Phonemic Awareness
O The knowledge that all letters stand for a
sound
O When sounds are put together, words are
formed
O Students must know all letters and their
sounds
“A” makes the “a” sound as in apple.

O The ability to put
letter sounds

Fluency
O Fluency is how fast or slow a child can read
at their independent reading level.
O Fluency can be practiced through choral
reading; reading together with your child.
O Modeling good reading is also beneficial for
children to understand what good reading
should sound like.
Comprehension
O Comprehension is understanding what is read or
what a student reads.
O Oral comprehension is always higher than
independent reading comprehension.
O In order to help your child with reading
comprehension, it is important to ask questions
while reading. For example: Who are the
characters? Where did the story take place?
What is the problem? What is the conflict? Ask
your child: What happened in the beginning of
the story? What happened at the end of the
story? These are just some examples.
