The Lexia Quick Reading Test is a computerized diagnostic reading assessment program that quickly and effectively evaluates students’ decoding skills, their ability to use word attack strategies, and their automaticity with sight words. A teacher or other adult administers the 5 to 8 minute test to a student one-on-one.
After the student takes the test, the computer generates at-a-glance reports in both graphic and tabular form to indicate the students’ strengths and weaknesses in each skill area. The reports allow the teacher to easily recognize the specific areas where practice or instruction is needed for an individual or even an entire class.
The Lexia Quick Reading Test, which can track up to 90 students, creates an electronic Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for each student and suggests beneficial activities and units in Lexia’s skill development software according to the student’s needs. With the Lexia Quick Reading Test, the teacher immediately clearly recognizes where to concentrate instruction, allowing for a curriculum better suited to the children’s needs.
