Permiss ion is granted to reproduce for c lassroom use .  \nGRADE 3 READING PLACEMENT TEST  \nAs a rule, students who have performed well in a second-grade reading program should be able to succeed in Reading Mastery Transformations Grade 3 Reading. However, this rule may not apply to all students, particularly those who can decode words silently but cannot read aloud with sufficient accuracy (no more than 2 errors per 100 words) . Also, students who are extremely weak in answering written comprehension questions should not go into Reading Mastery Transformations Grade 3 Reading. The reproducible placement test on the last page (page 3) of this PDF determines the rate, accuracy, and comprehension performance of students. Administer the test to all the students before placing them in Reading Mastery Transformations Grade 3 Reading. The test results will provide you with:  \n• “baseline” information about students’ reading rate and accuracy.  \n• a basis for evaluating student improvement after completing Grade 3 Reading.  \n• a means of identifying students who may be placed in the program “on trial,” and those who should not be placed in Grade 3 Reading.  \nAdministering the Placement Test  \n• Make one teacher copy and one student copy of the PDF placement test (page 3) for each student that you are to test. (Teacher will mark the teacher’s copy of part 1 for timed reading rate and accuracy. The student will work on the student’s copy by reading unmarked part 1 and answering items in part 2.)  \n• Part 1 of the test is to be administered individually to the students. They should not observe others taking the test. Part 1 requires about 2 minutes per student. You will need a stopwatch or timer. If students make more than 6 errors on part 1, do not administer part 2 to those students.  \n• Part 2 of the test may be presented to more than one student at the same time. Part 2 requires the students to write answers to comprehension questions about the part 1 passage.  \nInstructions for Part 1 and 2  \nPart 1—Vocabulary Word Reading (Not Scored)  \na. (Call a student to a corner of the room, where the test will be given.)  \nb. (Give a copy of the test to the student. Have a teacher’s copy of the test in front of you to mark errors and time.)  \nc. (Point to the column of words at the top of the test. Tell the student:)  \nd. Touch word 1. (Wait.) That word is California.  \n• Touch word 2. (Wait.) That word is Pacific.  \n• Touch word 3. (Wait.) That word is lifeboat.  \n• Touch word 4. (Wait.) That word is Japan.  \n• Touch word 5. (Wait.) That word is loudspeaker. Part 1—Passage Reading (Scored)  \na. (Point to the passage in part 1. Tell the student:)  \nYou’re going to read this passage out loud. I want you to read it as well as you can. Don’t try to read it so fast that you make mistakes. But don’t read it so slowly that it doesn’t make any sense. You have 2 minutes to read the passage. Go.  \nb. (Time the student. If the student takes more than  \n3 seconds on a word, say the word, count it as an error, and permit the student to continue reading. Make 1 tally mark for each error.)  \n(Count any of the following behaviors as errors:)  \n• If the student misreads a word, count 1 error.  \n• If the student omits a word part (listen carefully for s and ed), count 1 error.  \n• If the student sounds out a word but does not say the word at a normal speaking rate, count 1 error.  \n• If the student skips a word, count 1 error.  \n• If the student skips a line, immediately show the student the correct line; count 1 error.  \n• If the student does not identify a word within  \n3 seconds, tell the word; count 1 error.  \n• If the student reads a word incorrectly and then reads it correctly, count 1 error.  \nReading Mastery Transformations Grade 3 Reading 1  \n• Also count each word not read by the end of the 2-minute time limit as an error.
