These 10 Free Reading Tests Feature High-Interest Passages Targeting a Variety of Comprehension SkillsAs noted above, I am offering 10 free reading tests on this page. All of them are short--students can complete them in about 15 minutes or so. I have found that shorter tests bring certain advantages. Once everyone is finished, papers can be exchanged, checked, and returned for instant feedback. This allows time for students to ask questions about items they missed or to find out why their own answers were incorrect. A second advantage is that all of these tests can be copied one per page--a savings in copier paper. Please note, however, that a few of them DO have a second page. Those second pages COULD be copied to the back of the first page. In the very near future, I will be adding several reading tests that are longer--students will need the majority of a standard class period to complete them. However, these longer tests are more thorough and include a larger scope of reading skills than the shorter tests. Please watch for the longer tests that I'm planning to release on or about October 21, 2011. All these tests feature either high-interest and/or informative reading passages. Additionally, the passages include fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Please feel free to use any or all of these tests in whatever way best suits your needs.
