Revised and restandardised by the Educational Assessment Unit at the University of Edinburgh
ERT3 has been extensively revised and shortened, making for quicker administration (now in just two sessions of 35– 40 minutes), easier scoring, and a simplified profiling procedure. Fully redesigned and reillustrated, ERT3 now offers a much more accessible and pupil- friendly layout. These tests provide reliable overall assessments of reading, plus a diagnostic profile of key subskills in literacy: ERT3 – Sequences, Facts and main ideas, Points of view, Vocabulary. Standardised scores and reading ages are derived from standardisation samples totalling more than 5500 pupils.

PLUS now with Scorer/Profiler CD-ROMS providing computerised diagnostic profiling and a comprehensive package of individual and group performance analyses.

The ERT series has long been popular with class teachers as well as special needs and support teachers wanting more than just a simplistic, global measure of reading attainment. The series has also proved popular with LEAs for annual, authority-wide standards monitoring.

The series comprises four overlapping tests (for ages 7-9, 8:6 - 10:6, 10-12:6, and 11:7 - 16+), each of which assesses a range of different literacy skills (e.g. vocabulary, sequencing, comprehension of points of view - see panel) and which in turn provide a diagnostic information that will inform teaching throughout each year, and are not designed solely for end-of-year assessment.

This comprehensive service offers secondary schools and LEAs a confidential performance analysis portfolio, focusing on GCSE results relative to expectations based on prior ability tests such as the Edinburgh Reading Test 4 (taken from Year 7 onwards), and A level results compared with pupils' previous GCSE results.

The range of detailed analyses enables you to look in turn at individual pupils, subject departments and whole-school year cohorts. Schools using the Edinburgh Reading Test can also compare their results anonymously with other schools having similar indicator profiles.
