Overview
The Reading Freedom series has achieved wide recognition across Australia, and overseas, as a highly successful means of improving the literacy skills of students of all ages and abilities. It has been carefully structured to enable students to become independent readers for their own enjoyment.
The Reading Freedom 5 - Achievement Tests is a valuable diagnostic tool for parents and teachers. The carefully structured tests have been specifically designed to monitor student progress through the Reading Freedom series of programs, by providing a familiar and non-threatening form of assessment.
They are an effective means of monitoring efficiency of instruction, demonstrating mastery of the reading skills learnt and indicating areas that need further reinforcement, while providing an encouraging record of progress for students.
The program is self-marking, and compiles a comprehensive, printable record of the results attained for each test. Student achievement is also recognised with the awarding of printable certificates that can be viewed on screen at any time.
