Administer YARC to provide a more detailed analysis of reading skills: reading accuracy, reading rate and comprehension. We suggest using YARC if a student scores less than 85 on NGRT and when there are discrepancies between the Sentence Completion and Passage Comprehension sections of NGRT. YARC can also be used to highlight students who may be eligible for Access Arrangements – Extra Time or a Language Modifier.
As YARC is individually administered, you can closely observe a student’s reading behaviour. The component skills of reading are broken down so you can see precise areas to target to bring about rapid progress. Parallel forms of the test enable you to measure the impact of interventions.
Input student details and raw score results into a simple template, to generate a one-page report.
From webinars to bespoke sessions, our comprehensive and flexible training programmes ensure you can maximise your GL Assessment tools.
