Appendix L - Reading aloud: assessment results for all schools

Key to abbreviations:

B: boy
G: girl
Pass 1: Passage 1;
Ques 1: Question 1
T: test terminated at this point
na: question not asked
P: passage passed over, as it was judged well within pupil's capacity

Assessment of Overall Reading of Passages: key to numbers:

2= comprehensible; has read aloud adequately
1= incomprehensible in places; could not read aloud everything
0= experienced severe problems

Assessment of Answers to Comprehension Questions: key to numbers:

2= clear evidence of comprehension
1= partial evidence of comprehension
0= no evidence of comprehension

It should be recalled that the marking of this test is impressionistic, rather than strictly objective.

Note on "na": questions were not asked if the reader had already provided the response in answer to a previous question, or if the question was judged to be well within the pupil's capacity. In the latter case it was a practical time-saving strategy.
