Edinburgh Reading Test 1

for ages 7:0 to 9:0


Administered in two sessions of 25 minutes, and available in parallel forms A and B, ERT1 gives for each pupil a reliable overall assessment of reading and a diagnostic profile of vocabulary, syntax, sequences, and comprehension. It provides norms as both standardised scores and reading ages, and allows effective monitoring of progress in reading across the full ability range.

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. It has also proved popular for annual screening and standards monitoring.

The series comprises four overlapping tests (see below), each of which assesses a range of age-appropriate literacy skills (e.g. vocabulary, sequencing, comprehension of points of view, etc) and provides a diagnostic profile that will inform teaching throughout each year, and are not designed solely for end-of-year assessment.

PLUS now with Scorer/Profiler CD-ROM (view demo) providing:

  • computerised diagnostic profiling for all four tests in the ERT series;
  • comprehensive package of individual and group performance analyses.
