Continuously monitor individual students' growth in reading proficiency with 30 fiction and nonfiction passages at each grade level grades 1 to 8.

These field-tested passages have strong validity and reliability. Educators systematically use reading assessments to guide instructional decision-making for all students. Four types of assessments are used to measure and monitor reading achievement. Please let us know what questions you have so we can assist. When we are asked to read nonsense words, however, we have to rely on our sound-based decoding skills and knowledge of the alphabetic principle to decode the words.

Instead, we need to tap into our ability to phonologically decode. If he struggles with nonsense words, you know that he has a decoding problem!

Indeed, probably the most cited reading researcher of all time, Keith Stanovich, notes in his book , Progress in Understanding Reading , "the incredible potency of pseudoword [aka nonsense word] reading as a predictor of reading difficulty.

I highly suggest that teachers consider giving a standardized nonsense word test such as found in the Woodcock-Johnson Reading Mastery Test or the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test as a screener for students who are not doing well in reading. This measure often takes less than 5 minutes. Once you know that a student has a sound-based decoding problem, then you know what needs remediation! Don't beat your head against the wall with reading comprehension strategies or fluency drills when the first, most pressing, issue is poor sound-based decoding.

Decoding is the foundation upon which all other reading skills build upon, so it's important to shore up that base.

Reading comprehension may fall right into place after this intervention! Or, other higher level skills may need to be addressed later on. But keep the horse in front of the cart by solving first the foundational decoding problem.
