Reading Now

Suitable For:Teachers and other school-based professionals

Age Range:5-7 years 3 months

Administration:Group or Individual

Timings:20 minutes



A comprehensive and flexible measure of reading ability for five to seven year olds.
Quick and easy to administer, Reading Now is an assessment of reading capability of very young learners. It has been designed to be administered to small groups of children and, although untimed, should take no longer than 30 minutes for the complete test.

Reading Now results are comparable with GL AssessmentÂ’s Group Reading Test II (GRTII) and Suffolk Reading Scale 2 (SRS2). This means that it can be used in conjunction with these assessments for continuity of reading assessment from age 5 - 14.

  • Can be used at the start of the year to check or confirm a pupil's ability against their National Foundation Profiles
  • Enables you to set up baselines for performance management
  • Provides standard age scores and reading ages
  • Is equated to SRS2 and the results are comparable with GRTII, so you can keep using your favoured reading test after Year 1 and monitor progress across Key Stages 1 - 3
  • Provides Curriculum Indicators and NLS levels
  • Is accessible and motivating through the use of contemporary language, stories and illustrations
  • Offers a comprehensive scoring and analysis service.
