Reading Assessment Database: Search Results
The essential cognitive elements of the reading process have been outlined in the Cognitive Framework of Reading.
To assist educators in organizing their assessment practices around the cognitive framework, we've created a way to
easily search for published early reading assessments that specifically test skills and knowledge outlined by the
Cognitive Framework of Reading.

Subtests and
skills assessed |
Rhyming — There are two parts to this subtest — recognizing and producing rhyme. In recognizing rhyme, the student identifies which two of three words rhyme. In producing rhyme, the student simply generates a word that rhymes with a specified word.
Sentence segmentation — After a sentence is read aloud, the student must indicate how many words are contained in the sentence.
Blending — Words are spoken aloud with pauses inserted between syllables, onset-rimes, or phonemes. The student must blend the word together.
Syllable segmentation — Multi-syllable words are spoken aloud for the student, and the student must indicate the number of syllables contained in the word by clapping.
Deletion — A word is spoken aloud to the student, and then the student must pronounce the word omitting a certain segment of the word. The segment to be omitted in each item is either a syllable, the initial phoneme or the final phoneme.
Phoneme isolation — There are three parts to this subtest — in each part, the student must identify a specified phoneme contained in a word. For the first part, the student must identify the initial phoneme; for the second part the student must identify the final phoneme, and for the third part, the student must identify the medial phoneme.
Phoneme segmentation — Words are spoken aloud to the student, and the student must repeat each word with a pause inserted between each phoneme.
Substitution — A word is spoken aloud for the student, and then the student is instructed to replace a specified phoneme with a new phoneme (e.g., replace the /k/ in KID with the phoneme /h/). |
