Letters (Phonics) — Students must select a picture that depicts an object whose name begins with or ends with the same sound (phoneme) as a word dictated by the teacher (e.g. teacher says DUCK, and student selects a picture of a dog because both begin with the same phoneme).

Words (Vocabulary) — Students must select a picture that best represents a dictated word or phrase.

Pictures (Fluency) — Students must examine a picture for 3 seconds, and then they must find an identical picture from a set (without referring back to the original picture).

Stories (Comprehension) — The teacher reads aloud passages of text, followed by short questions, and the students must select pictures that best answer those questions.

Score reporting
and test design data
Raw scores can be converted into scaled scores, percentiles, stanines, normal-curve equivalents, and grade equivalents. Information is also provided to help teachers relate student performance to criterion objectives. Reliability was assessed using internal-consistency measures. Validity was determined using the OLSAT-8
Notes The publisher only sent information about the Pink and Teal Levels of the SDRT-4 (Grades K - 1), so that is all that has been reviewed here. However, other levels of the SDRT-4 are also available for all grades K-12.
