    1. Assessment of Student Progress in Reading and Writing

    2. Standardized Tests Mandated tests Schools and districts use scores for comparing student achievement with previous years Comparing with national norms and other districts

    3. Purposes To place and classify students To provide accountability To determine who needs extra help or enrichment To create groups Standardized tests often fail to reflect current views of teaching reading and are of little use to teachers day-to-day instruction

    4. Formal Assessment-Norm Referenced Norm-referenced- measure a students relative standing in relation to comparable groups of students across the nation or locally Authors seek reliability and validity so that schools can be confident that the tests measure what they intend to measure Results in standard scoresgrade equivalents (in years and months) and percentile ranks (position within a set of 100 scores)

    5. Criterion-Referenced Scores are interpreted in terms of specific standards Designed to match the standards or expectations of what students should know at successive points, or benchmarks Advantage: Students do not compete with one another, but try to master certain objectives or criterion Disadvantage: Reading can appear to be merely a set of skills that can be taught and learned in isolation
