Find out how this sophisticated assessment solution can provide powerful insights into your students’ reading skills Salford Sentence Reading andComprehensionTest 1 TEST READING ACCURACY AND COMPREHENSION Salford Sentence Reading and Comprehension Test (SSRCT) provides reliable, standardised scores for reading accuracy and reading comprehension, as well as reading and comprehension ages. Delivered verbally, learners read sentences aloud until they reach their ceiling and answer comprehension questions. 2 COMPARE STUDENTS’ PROGRESS OVER TIME With SSRCT’s three parallel forms, it’s possible to track a learner’s progress over time, providing you with an effective assessment that can be used termly as well as pre- and post- intervention. The test is also ideal for tracking the smaller steps of progress your lower-ability learners may make. 3 A LOW-STRESS TEST FOR LOWER ABILITY READERS SSRCT supports learners because it lets them focus only on reading, and not writing. Since SSRCT is delivered verbally, it presents learners with a low-stress assessment, while giving teachers all the information they need to correctly measure reading accuracy and reading comprehension. 4 A LAUNCHPAD FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION SSRCT can be the first assessment step for learners with suspected reading difficulties. The low-stress nature of the test makes it ideal for use with learners who are weak or very weak readers. Depending on the test outcomes, you can then run follow-up assessments to put the right support in place.
