Great Site
I wanted to share a site with you that I found particularly interesting. The site's address is http://www.sedl.org/reading/rad/database.html. This site allows you to choose specific criteria in order to identify an assessment tool that best meets your need for assessing. For example, you can specify languages, ages, norm or criterion referenced tests or both, and knowledge domains that you want tested. This site then matches your criteria with the best assessments. The results tell you cost, time to administer, how to administer (group/ individual), grades used for, cognitive elements, subtests, languages, score reporting and test design data, and more. It can be very useful for individual use as well as school-wide use.

F.Y.I...some students are opting not to use the blog format and are posting comments about your blog on the community discussion board...you might want to check that out...especially for your project.
Thanks for the info about this site! I just briefly went to it and I couldn't believe the results after I typed in my requirements. Best of all, there was a great kindergarten assessment that I downloaded for free! I'm always looking for new ways to assess my students since the only "required" assessment we do is DIBELS which I feel doesn't cover everything. Thanks for sharing!
There are two things I like to hear when using a new tool, "great" and "free"! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this website. I would like for my school to adopt some form of reading assessment for all our students (or perhaps one for upper grades and one for lower) this was a concise way of seeing all that is available. This would actually be really helpful for me to use when talking to my principal about what is on the market.
