San Diego Quick Assessment of Reading Ability Grade level K-11 Word Recognition Individual testing 10 minutes WHAT This test measures the recognition of words out of context. Generally, proficient readers read as accurately both in and out of context. This test consists of 13 graded word lists from preprimer to eleventh grade. The words within each list are of about equal difficulty. WHY Weak readers overrely on context and recognize words in context more easily than out of context. HOW Begin with a list two or three sets below the student’s grade level and continue until the student makes three or more errors in a list. Present the Student Material word list to the student. Use a paper to cover word lists not being read. Mark errors on the Record form by crossing out each missed word. Mispronunciations can be written down next to the word. When the teacher says “next”, the student should move the paper down and read the next word. Encourage the student to read words that he or she does not know so that you can identify the techniques used for word identification. Wait no longer than five seconds before moving on to the next word. WHAT IT MEANS below.
