Jana, We used to use the Gate McGinite. Then we switched to the Stanford Reading Assessment. I think it was a better choice because it gives a breakdown by strand: vocabulary, comprehension, etc.
Laurie Wasserman Gr. 6 LD/NBCT/TLN Medford, Massachusetts [email protected] Hi I teach 6th grade Language Arts in Social Studies at a middle school where we have 6,7, 8th grade students. Our school is also thinking about REad 180. My question is this. This is my question. Some teachers go out to the elementary schools and test kids who may be struggling in reading. then those students are put into a remedial reading class. The assessment they use is called the Gates McGinite. Can anyone give me some feedback on this test and possibly suggest a different assessment.
