reading assessments
Comprehension evaluation tools
Reading assessments are tools or methods used to evaluate a person's reading ability—measuring skills like comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, and decoding.
Schools use them to track student progress, identify learning difficulties, and guide instruction: The district administers reading assessments three times a year.
They range from standardized tests to informal observations of a child reading aloud.
