Quick and easy to administer to individual pupils or whole classes in a single session of 45– 50 minutes, the new ERT4 now provides extended norms which allow effective monitoring to age 16+. Fully restandardised for use from age 11: 7, ERT4 can be used in the secondary school as a baseline measure for value- added analyses and target- setting, while also providing well- founded indicators of likely performance at GCSE (services offered by Student Performance Analysis – see below).

The ERT4 diagnostic profile highlights Skimming, Vocabulary, Reading for facts, Points of view, and Comprehension.

ERT4 is also recognised by the Joint Council for Qualifications to support examination concessions (allowing extra time) for pupils with special needs. Now with norms to 16:6, the test will support claims for special examination access arrangements for pupils taking GCSEs, GNVQs and A levels. Effectively, 16+ norms are applicable to adults, greatly extending the range of contexts in which the test can be used.

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.
