It is composed of word lists from preprimer to 10th grade. One website with the words and directions is: http://www.edu-cyberpq.com/Literacy/quickassessment.asp I have used it and found it to be quite good as a quick way to assess childrens levels. It is not as informative as a more indepth assessment would be, but it is quick and you can feel that you are placing students in books that at least near their level. Hope this helps. >> On 7/16/08, Steph/4/TX wrote: >>> I know that if most of my 4th graders come in reading below >>> grade level, I need to start the year with a 4 blocks format >>> and work into the big blocks format.
