comprehension skills in a quick and low-stress assessment, with
learners reading sentences of graded ability aloud.

●
a Teachers ask comprehension questions after each sentence to
assess literal understanding, inference and vocabulary.
a Generate standardised scores and age-standardised scores for
reading accuracy and comprehension, as well as reading age and
comprehension age.
a Use one-to-one with learners with suspected reading and
comprehension difficulties or use with a group as a quick screening
test.
a Track progress over time and monitor the impact of interventions
with parallel forms A, B and C.
a The first 5 sentences are informed by Letters and Sounds and are
phonically decodable.
a SSRCT can also be delivered as a listening comprehension for
learners who are unable to read the first sentence in the test, so
teachers can still get a measure of their ability.
