We used the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test or we used the Standardized Test that was administered in Years 3 and 5. The Woodcock provides age based norms and grade based norms- so we usually used those- so for example if a child "grew 1.9- then the child would receive a score of .9. If a child grew 1.0- the child would receive a score of 0- as s/he only grew one year. If a child only grew .9 then that child would receive a score of -3. When using the Woodcock- we used spring to spring testing- so the child might score 2.3 in spring of third grade- then the next spring the child might score 4.3- demonstrating growth of 2 years.
