Reading Assessment Database: Search Results
The essential cognitive elements of the reading process have been outlined in the Cognitive Framework of Reading.

easily search for published early reading assessments that specifically test skills and knowledge outlined by the
Cognitive Framework of Reading.

Score reporting
and test design data |
Raw scores can be converted into standard scores, percentile ranks, normal curve equivalent scores (NCEs), stanines, and age-equivalent scores. This assessment was normed on nationwide sample of 1,795 children in 1991. Test-retest reliability measures were found to be in the .80 range; criterion validity was assessed using the Test for Auditory Comprehension of Language (revised), the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (revised), and the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (revised). |
| Notes |
Computer software to assist in scoring is available for both PC and Macintosh computers. |
