Chalk Talk: How to Determine a Child's Reading Level
There are various reading diagnostic assessments that can be given to determine a student’s actual reading level. Examples of reading diagnostic assessments are the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test, the CTOPP, the Gray Oral Reading Test, the TOWRE, etc. Educators, especially reading specialists, should learn how to administer these assessments and convince school administrators to make them available in the school. After all, if no diagnosis in terms of reading struggles is given, a prescription for improvement cannot be given either. Also, there are websites, such as Scholastic’s Book Wizard, that allow teachers to search for the grade level equivalency of popular books. Leveled readers are simple options for teachers looking for books at specific levels. It should be noted that there are alternative scales to grade level equivalency scores, such as DRA and Lexile Measure. This can be intimidating for teachers, but they can seek the help of reading specialists (who can assess students) and school librarians (who can pull grade level-appropriate books off the shelves) to make the process smoother.
