GUIDE TO TESTS AND MEASURING INSTRUMENTS FOR READING
Roger Farr
Edward G. Summers
Indiana University
December,l968
This Guide was prepared pursuant to a contract with the
Office of Education, U. S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
Contractors undertaking such projects under Government sponsorship are encouraged
to
express freely their judgment i:d, professional and
technical matters.
Points of view or opinions do not,
therefore, necessarily represent official Office of Education position or policy.
INTRODUCTION
In 1966, the United States Office of Education
recognized the need for more efficient use of infor-
mation and research in education by creating a nat-
ional network of resource centers.
These centers
were charged with the responsibility of
acquiring,
storing, retreiving, analyzing, and disseminating
information in selected areas of education.
The
Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC)
system began with twelve such centers and presently
consists of nineteen..
The Clearinghouse on Reading .e.1RIC/CRIER),
located at Indiana University, specializes in infor-
mation related to the following scope note:
The Clearinghouse on Reading is
responsible for acquiring research re-
ports, materials and information re-
lated to all aspects of reading behav-
ior with emphasis on physiology, psych-
ology, sociology, and the teaching of
reading.
-acluded are reports on the
development and evaluation of instruc-
tional materials, curricula, tests and
measurements, preparation of reading
teachers and specialists, and method-
ology at all levels;
the role of librar-
ies and other agencies-in fostering and
guiding reading; and diagnostic and re-
medial services in school and clinic
settings.*
This Guide to Tests and Measuring Instruments
for Etyling provides a comprehensive source of
information on tests for reading.
The Guide is
divided into two parts.
Part I provides descrip-
tive information on reading tests and Part II
presents an index to those tests which have been
used in reading research reported in the
ERIC/CRIER
basic references.
Purpose of the Guide
The purpose of this Guide is to mak4 informa-
tion on published reading tests readily available
to the user.
Evaluation is the key to effective
instruction in reading and should be based on
careful selection of valid and reliable measuring
instruments.
Users should not select tests on the
basis of information provided in the Guide alone.
Critical reviews of many of the tests are avail-
able in Buros' Mental Measurement Yearbooks and in
reports in the professional-literature.
Careful
analysis of test reviews and sample copies of
tests should be made before final selection of any
test.
The Guide can be used to identify te9ts
available for various purposes.
*A complete description of the organization, development, and products and services of ERTC/CRIER may be
obtained from:
ERIC/CRIER, 200 Pine Hall, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47401.
2122.212pmat of the Guide
In developing the Guide those publishers known
to be printing reading tests 'were contacted and
asked to submit samples of all tests currently in
print.
Not all publishers of such tests agreed to
participate and the Guide includes only those tests
submitted b Y 45 cooperatingpublisher.* Once the
tests were secured a system for classifying their
format and contents was develoDed.
Faculty from
the Program in Reading, Indiana University, studied
the problem a-id the following individuals aided in
the development of the classification structure:
Isabel Craig, Roger Farr, Leo Fay, Ruth Gallant,
Larry Harris, James Laffey, Carl Smith and Edward
Summers.
In.addition, members of the ERIC/CRIER
Advisory Board provided helpful suggestions.
Once
the classification structure was agreed upon a
team of specialists in reading classified the
tests.
Included in this important group were:
William Morris (chairman), Shari Schaap, Sister
Iona Taylor and Bruce Payette.
The staff and
resources ofERIC/CRIER aided in many phases of
the project.
Gatherine Siffin, Director of
Publications provided valuable aid in develop-
ment of the format and printing of the Guide.
Improving the Guide
Users of the Guide are urged to provide
reactions and suggestions so t'nat future
editions can be improved.
Publishers not
represented in this volume are encouraged
to participate and may contact ERIC/CRIER
directly for instructions.
FUture of the Guide
Plans are underway to periodically update
the Guide as funds permit.
More detailed
description of tests may
e undertaken in the
future as well as inclusion of basal reader
tests.
Eventually computer storage and
retrieval of information on reading tests
is possible.
Su(, development will permit
manipulation of the collection in a variety
of ways.
For example, a list of readiness
related tests could be provided or a search
conducted for all tests that include diagnostic
aspects.

GUIDE TO TESTS AND MEASURING INSTRUMENTS FOR READING
Part I:
Descriptive Information on Reading Tests
Organization of Part I of the Guide
Tests are organized alphabetically by test name.
Descriptive information for each test includes the
following data.
(In most cases the.informationwas
taken directly from the test and test manual
pro-
vided by the publisher.)
1.
Name of Test
- The name listed on the front cover
of the test booklet.
2.
Zrade or ka Level
- The suggested grade or age
level for using the test as indicated by the
publisher.
3.
Type of Test - Gsza or Individual
- Tests
described as group tests may be administered
to more than one student at a time;
individual
tests are those which.must be administered to
one student at a time.
4.Norm Data
- Norming data provided by the test
publisher was studied to determine if the test
was normed on a particular select population,
whether descriptive information about the
norming population was provided, and the
extensiveness of the norming data.
).
Name of Subtests
- Names of the subtests as
indicated in the test booklet are listed.
Number of Forms
- The number of available
forms of the test.
Publication Date
- The date of original
publication.
Revision Date
- The date when the test
was revised.
Caution should be observed
in the interpretation of the revision
date due to the fact that some test
publishers revise only the manual and
not the test itself.
The revision
date, therefore, sometimes applies only
to the manual and not to the test itself.
9.
Authors
- The names listed on the front of
the test booklet.
10.
Publisher
- The publishing company
indicated on the front of the test
booklet.
11.

giving directions and administering
the tests.
Time increments listed
are based on information provided
by the publisher.

Organization of Part II pf the Guide
This section of the Guide provides an
index
to research articles which have reported use of
the tests described in Part I.
The document base
used to compile the index consists of six biblio-
graphies in the ERIC/CRIER basic reference collec-
tion.
Over 3,800 references cited in the six
bibliographies were carefully scanned and the
tests which were reported used in reading research
noted.
The index gives the test name and item
and page locations where the test is described in
Part I.
The right hand column of each page lists
the numbers of those documents mi the six ERIC/CRIER
