Hodder Group Reading Tests (HGRT) II: 1-3 Scorer/Profiler CD-ROM
by Denis Vincent and Mary Crumpler
Purpose-designed for use with the revised Hodder Group Reading Tests 1-3, the HGRT Scorer/Profiler fully automates your test data processing - eliminating clerical error, speeding up and enhancing the interpretative value of test data, and putting you fully in control, to generate the reports you want!
For each pupil, it calculates (and checks) chronological age, standardised score, reading age and national curriculum level - and flags reading ages a year or more behind chronological age. It then generates a comprehensive range of group performance analyses, by class, gender and/or whole year group, with summary statistics and comparisons with national norms. View (and print) listings in alphabetical order or by pupil number or in merit order, as you require.
Now fully networkable, the Scorer/Profiler can import pupil data direct from existing PC-based school information management systems. It sets no limit to the number of pupil records, and there is no annual licence fee. The CD-ROM includes a slideshow demo and a comprehensive User's Manual, and will work on any PC running Windows 2000 and above.
Hodder Group Reading Tests (HGRT) II: 1-3 Specimen Set
by Denis Vincent and Mary Crumpler
The Hodder Group Reading Tests 1-3 assess pupils' reading comprehension at word, sentence and text levels. They are designed as wide-range tests, and thus are especially useful in screening and monitoring mixed-ability groups where some pupils may be much more advanced, or much slower, than the average.
The Hodder Group Reading Tests 1-3 all have parallel forms A and B, for use with the following age groups: Test 1 - ages 5:0 to 9:0 (Years 1 to 3); Test 2 - ages 7:0 to 12:0 (Years 2 to 6); Test 3 - ages 9:5 to 16+ (Years 5 to 11)
Each test takes 30 minutes to administer to whole class or year groups: the parallel forms A and B can be used simultaneously to minimise copying, as well as to assess progress over time. At each level, the tests include questions which assess pupil's understanding of word meanings, culturally neutral sentence-completion questions, and higher-level 'cloze' tasks that require pupils to both comprehend and reflect upon the content and the context of continuous text.
The tests have been standardised on over 13000 pupils nationally, giving dependable norms which express performance as standardised scores, reading ages and national curriculum levels.
This revised edition establishes time limits and extended norms which make the Hodder Group Reading Tests 2 and 3 ideal for 'access arrangement' assessments at Key Stages 2, 3 and GCSE. The redesigned tests include carefully matched replacements for the original 'proverbs' items, while preserving the tests' quick and easy administration and scoring.
This Specimen Set includes the Manual (common to all three tests) and single copies of each of the six test forms. A Scorer/Profiler CD-ROM is available separately to automate score conversions and help analyse and interpret group performance data.
