The Word Reading Test (WRT)

The WRT is a test of Word Reading (Recognition). It is a test of the ability to read words accurately when their recognition is not supported by other words in a reading passage. The WRT is one of the sub-tests in the Quick Adult Reading Inventory (QARI), an individual assessment of reading. The publisher, Continental Press, has graciously given permission to place the Word Reading sub-test on the ARCS Website giving users the right to copy and distribute the material. (It's free!)

For this test, the learner reads graded lists of words until a top level of mastery is reached. There are five lists of ten words each covering grade levels 0 to 10. Each list gives mastery criteria for two grade levels. There are complete directions for administering and scoring this test on the Directions for Giving the WRT page.
