TASK 3
The concepts and skills assessed by
each level of Stanford 10 are those
ordinarily taught during the second
half of any given year and the first half
of the following year. This midyear-tomidyear configuration—with students
tested in the spring of one grade and
the fall of the next—provides a more
focused assessment and greater
opportunity to monitor academic
growth. At the high school levels,
where the TASK levels assess basic
skills, a single level is appropriate for
use in both the fall and spring of the
same school year.

Re ADiNG
The Reading subtests measure a broad spectrum of essential reading components and are aligned with
IRA/NCTE standards, state standards, and the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP).
Reflecting a balanced, developmental curriculum and sound instructional practices, these subtests
assess the following areas at appropriate grade levels: phonemic awareness, decoding, phonics,
vocabulary, and comprehension.
Stanford 10 places an emphasis on assessing foundation skills that are critical to early literacy. The
Sounds and Letters subtest closely reflects reading research findings on the importance of phonemic
awareness and phonics. Word Study Skills and Sentence Reading are evaluated across a broader age
range than in previous editions. This assessment of literacy development in the early grades helps ensure
that students are progressing at every stage on the road to literacy.
Reading Comprehension Subtest
The Stanford 10 Reading Comprehension subtest is based on research about the contexts and activities
that are most effective for reading instruction and assessment. The Stanford 10 framework involves three
major purposes for reading (literary, informational, and functional) and multiple modes of comprehension
(initial understanding, interpretation, critical analysis, and awareness and usage of reading strategies).
Authentic reading selections commissioned from published authors of children’s and young people’s
literature help create a level playing field for all students and reflect diverse multicultural themes to
appeal to students of varying backgrounds, experiential levels, and interests.
here are some reasons to
have norm-referenced tests
(NRTs) in your toolbox:
• Local assessments can
complement the state assessment.
• National norms compare individual
student, building, and district
performance with the nation as
a whole. Not only is this unique
information, but also National
Percentile Ranks are broadly
understood scores.
• NRTs efficiently cover five
measures in one test—reading,
math, science, social studies,
and language.
• With NRTs, it is possible to
monitor growth over time,
providing convincing evidence
of improvement by following the
progress of students from year
to year.
Students who take the full-length Reading Comprehension subtest at Primary 1–TASK 3 levels can
receive a Lexile® score. The Lexile Framework defines and sequences reading materials in terms
of difficulty and allows you to identify customized reading lists for students based on their reading
achievement. For information about the use of Lexiles, see PearsonLexile.com.
Authentic Reading Selections
Stanford 10 is the only standardized
achievement test to provide reading
selections written expressly for
Stanford 10 by authors of children’s
and young people’s literature. These
authentic selections create a level
playing field for all students, and they
include a variety of topics and diverse
cultural themes that will appeal to
students of varying backgrounds,
experiential levels, and interests.

MATheMATiCS
The Mathematics subtests align with the NAEP and measure concepts and processes based on the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (PSSM)
and state standards. Concepts assessed include number sense and operations; patterns, relationships,
and algebra; geometry and measurement; and data, statistics, and probability. Questions also evaluate
processes in computation and representation; estimation; mathematical connections; and reasoning and
problem solving. To enhance test interpretation, the subtests provide consistency in names of content
clusters across levels.
Mathematics Problem Solving measures the skills and knowledge necessary to solve problems in
mathematics. Mathematics Procedures measures the ability to apply the rules and methods of arithmetic
to problems that require arithmetic solutions.
Both standard and metric rulers are used in the Mathematics Problem Solving and Mathematics subtests
for the Primary 1–TASK levels. A mathematics reference sheet that provides the formulas necessary
to solve problems is included for the Advanced and TASK levels. Calculator use is an option in the
Mathematics Problem Solving subtest beginning at the Intermediate 1 level and in the Mathematics
subtest at the TASK levels.
L ANGuAGe
Aligned with IRA/NCTE standards and state standards, the Stanford 10 Language subtest measures
students’ achievement in applying the principles that form effective writing. From word- and sentencelevel skills to whole composition features, the subtest engages students in real-life activities. Stanford 10
offers a choice of Language subtests to suit different language arts instructional approaches.
The Traditional Language subtest (Form A) measures proficiency in mechanics and expression in three
different sections. The first section measures language mechanics (capitalization, punctuation, and
usage) with questions that resemble an actual editing task with a variety of embedded errors. The
second section assesses language expression as students demonstrate their understanding of sentence
structure. The third section provides language expression items that include objectives typically evaluated
in the direct assessment of writing.
An alternative Comprehensive Language subtest (Form D) provides an integrated test that replicates
the writing process as closely as possible in a testing situation. This subtest measures pre-writing,
composing, and editing in a holistic fashion that resembles authentic writing tasks.
SPeLLiNG
The Spelling subtest assesses objectives based on the phonetic and structural principles taught at each
grade level. At Primary 1, the subtest is dictated and students choose from three options. Beginning at
the Primary 2 level, the spelling items reflect real-life editing tasks because they are presented in context
rather than as isolated words. Each spelling item consists of one sentence with three underlined words.
Starting at Primary 3, an additional “No Mistake” option is offered, reinforcing the authenticity of the
task. The misspellings used reflect students’ most common spelling errors.

LiSTeNiNG COMPReheNSiON
Stanford 10 helps assess both listening vocabulary and comprehension at K–Grade 9 levels in
recognition of the importance of listening skills in literacy development, instruction, and everyday life. The
Listening subtests emphasize listening strategies and provide a wide variety of selections that includes
multicultural representation.
In the Listening Vocabulary section, students demonstrate recognition of the common meanings of
spoken words encountered in various types of activities. The Listening Comprehension section uses
dictated selections and questions that reflect the listening materials students hear in school and outside
of the classroom. This section parallels the Reading Comprehension subtest, using literary, informational,
and functional texts to measure the same modes of comprehension: initial understanding, interpretation,
and critical analysis and strategies.
SCieNCe
The Science subtest assesses students’ understanding of the life, physical, and earth sciences, and the
nature of science with questions that elicit problem solving and inquiry using a basic understanding of
science. Reflecting current science practice and research, this subtest aligns with the National Science
Education Standards (National Research Council), the Benchmarks for Science Literacy (American
Association for the Advancement of Science), and state standards.
Students must use reasoning skills throughout the subtest to reach answers. These skills include
estimating, making simple calculations, seeking patterns, making observations, recognizing cause
and effect, reading standard instruments, and drawing conclusions. Students are challenged to apply
foundation concepts and skills as they think through questions.
SOCiAL SCieNCe
The Social Science subtest measures the concepts important for the development of citizenship and
strongly emphasizes critical thinking skills. Giving equal attention to history, geography, political science,
and economics, the subtest maintains a balance between national and international issues. It reflects
current social studies standards, practices, and research and is aligned with the National Council for the
Social Studies (NCSS) Curriculum Standards for Social Studies and state standards.
Using the National Standards for History as a guideline, the history questions focus on the history of the
United States, Western civilization, and non-Western people and societies who share our interdependent
world. Geography questions, which are based on the Geography for Life: National Geography Standards,
cover the themes of location, places, human-environment interaction, movement, and region.
The political science component helps assess students’ basic understanding of the U.S. system of
government as outlined in the National Standards for Civics and Government. The economics questions
are based on the Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics.

subtest is linked across 11 test levels (Primary 1–TASK 3), forming one
continuous scale that makes it possible to compare scores from test
level to test level. This scale is especially helpful for comparing student
performance in a particular subject area over time.
scoring & reporting services
Stanford 10 helps educators make data-driven decisions. A range of
user-friendly score reports, designed with the input of administrators
and teachers across the country, supports teaching, learning, and
accountability requirements. The reports include narrative summaries,
process and cluster summaries, and graphic displays to clarify
the student’s performance and guide planning and analysis.
(See pp. 19–22 for sample score reports.)
The Stanford Scale offers an objective, consistent tool to monitor student
achievement across years and multiple assessments. Many of our tests are
linked to this scale. From broad-based assessment to classroom diagnostic
evaluation, teachers and administrators can relate student performance to a
common metric and monitor students’ educational development.
Administrators obtain critical data to document and monitor the
progress of all children and to disaggregate results according to
federal mandates.

For example, using a Stanford 10 multilevel norms booklet, an educator can compare
percentile ranks and stanines for students who take SESAT 2 Sentence Reading and
then take Primary 1 Reading Comprehension at a later time. It is not possible, however,
to compare a Reading Comprehension scaled score to a Mathematics scaled score. Each
subtest and total has its own system of scaled scores.
