Williams Senior Consultants: Jack Cassidy & S. Jay Samuels i

GRADE gives you everything you need for a complete cycle of assessment and focused reading instruction. Use the test to assess students baseline skills. Diagnostic Analysis worksheets help pinpoint strengths and weaknesses so you can target instruction. Correlated, reproducible intervention materials are available to measure and track reading growth. For children in prekindergarten and early elementary grades, GRADE offers subtests that focus on the critical early reading skills identified by the National Reading Panel. In later elementary grades through post-secondary assessment, the test battery continues to monitor fundamental reading skills. It is also the only test available that offers a listening comprehension subtest at all levels. This means that GRADE gives you the resources you need to consistently measure and document student reading levels and their response to your programmed reading instruction. GRADE was designed with a number of unique features that help you measure reading skills with confidence: Untimed subtests allow students to complete each section at their own pace, giving you an accurate picture of their skills Test design builds student confidence, placing hardest items toward the middle of each subtest so students work to a sense of completion and finish with some easier items Out-of-level testing allows you to assess very low- and very high-performing students at their functional level and identify skills they have mastered On-site scoring provides immediate feedback on students results Diagnostic score reports pinpoint student strengths and weaknesses Correlated remediation materials give you resources to improve students reading skills in weak areas Report reading progress GRADE also helps you report reading progress as required by federal and state guidelines. The assessment consistently measures student reading skills using Growth Scale Values. This makes it easy to track and report progress for individuals, classes, schools, or an entire district. In-depth, reliable scores GRADE delivers reliable reading diagnostics for individual students, but can be given in a group or classroom setting. Each GRADE level gives teachers diagnostic analyses that profile both individual and classroom strengths and weaknesses. And with two parallel forms per level, GRADE can also be used to follow progress and monitor growth throughout a student s education. GRADE provides all the tools you need to easily administer, score, and report accurate results: Diagnostics with score comparisons and narrative results The ability to score by hand or with local scoring software Scores in percentile ranks, standard scores, grade equivalents, normal curve equivalents, stanines, and growth scale values ii

Watch your students abilities grow With 11 levels, GRADE helps you confidently test prekindergarten to postsecondary students. At each level, GRADE identifies strengths and weaknesses for easy placement and intervention. And with parallel pre- and posttesting and consistent scoring throughout all levels, GRADE lets you track your students as their skills develop. GRADE scoring and reporting software View actual sample print-outs of these software reports in Appendix B of this document. Easy-to-use GRADE software provides local scoring and reporting capabilities. The software package includes spring and fall on-level and out-of-level normative scores for Levels P through M and allows for imported files for those who prefer to scan GRADE Answer Sheets or Student Booklets. Available reports include group and individual score summaries, group and individual diagnostic analyses for each subtest, and reports to parents and students. Score tests on-site for immediate on-screen or printed feedback you can use in your classroom: Flexible reporting options allow you to distill exactly the data you need Data fields on reports give you the option to make personalized comments to each student Rapidly convert raw scores to normative scores to obtain a meaningful measure of students' skills Choose individual or group reports to learn information about each student's progress or gain a global picture of group skills Detailed item analysis helps you pinpoint the skills your students need to work on Track and monitor student skill gains using Growth Scale Values that provide an accurate measure of growth over time to help you with reporting requirements for state and federal programs GRADE Scoring & Reporting Software SINGLE PC Version. Designed for the classroom teacher or a single school installation. Install on one computer and enter student data via keyboard or mouse. Quickly score and produce individual student or group reports. Data can be imported or exported. Track individual student or classroom reading progress. Complete range of GRADE reports. GRADE Out of Level Norms Supplement iii

The GRADE Out-of-Level Norms Supplement is a 205 page book of norm tables. The out-of-level norms in the supplement are for score conversions when students have been given a level of GRADE above or below their current grade of enrollment. ASSESS STUDENT PROGRESS TOWARD READING FIRST GOALS: GRADE offers scientifically based subtests and content that align with Reading First goals. Use this in-depth assessment to measure students reading skills as part of your Reading First program. The Reading First Assessment Co mmittee has created an Analysis of Reading Assessment Measures Coding Form - outlining the criteria Reading First programs should use to judge the technical adequacy of evaluation tools under consideration for use in their Reading First programs. This Reading First Assessment Committee Coding Form has been completed using GRADE (Group Reading Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation), as an example. To view the Sample Reading Assessment Measures Coding Form please go to http: //www.agsglobe.com/pdf/gra DE3.pdf Materials, continued: GRADE RESOURCE LIBRARY (GRL) Available on CD-ROM for each of the 11 levels, the GRADE Resource Libraries provide a direct link from test results to intervention. Once you test students to pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses, use the extensive GRL to plan intervention strategies. GRL CD-ROM operates on Macintosh or Windows platforms. Choose from teacher-led activities, student worksheets, and more. All materials are reproducible, so you can simply print and copy the resources you need. The GRL for each level also contains a reading booklist with 500 authors and titles. Within each level, the booklist is separated into different comprehension categories. Those categories by level are as follows: Level P - Alphabet, Cause & Effect, Compare & Contrast, Concepts, Main Idea/Detail, Phonics/Decoding, and Rhyming Level K - Cause & Effect, Compare & Contrast, Main Idea/Detail, Phonics/Decoding, and Rhyming Level 1 - Cause & Effect, Compare & Contrast, Drawing Conclusions, Main Idea/Detail, Phonics/Decoding, and Rhyming Level 2 - Cause & Effect, Chapter Books, Compare & Contrast, Drawing Conclusions, Main Idea/Detail, Making Inferences, Phonics/Decoding, and Rhyming Level 3 - Cause & Effect, Chapter Books, Compare & Contrast, Drawing Conclusions, Making Inferences, and Phonics/Decoding Level 4 - Cause & Effect, Chapter Books, Compare & Contrast, Drawing Conclusions, and Making Inferences Levels 5 through A - Cause & Effect, Compare & Contrast, Drawing Conclusions, and Making Inferences iv

Materials, continued: Reading Fluency Indicator (RFI) This tool is a brief, individually administered assessment of oral reading fluency that measures rate, accuracy, comprehension, and prosody (proper expression). It consists of graded passages at all 9 levels that correspond to the levels on the GRADE (8 levels are used in the following Virginia correlation): Level P (emerging readers) Level K Levels 1-6 The RFI takes approximately 10-15 minutes to administer. It yields information regarding a student s independent and instructional reading levels, including specific word recognition and comprehension abilities. As a criterion-referenced measure, the RFI is also a powerful tool to help teachers monitor and track each student's progress over time. Paired with the GRADE, the Reading Fluency Indicator contributes to a full measure of reading skills as recommended by the National Reading Panel. You can identify reading levels, obtain diagnostic information, plan appropriate instruction, and measure progress with these two easy-to-use tests from AGS Globe. v
