Reading Assistant’s Diagnostic Assessment
Overview:
Amira Reading Assistant is specifically designed to be a diagnostic assessment that provides educators with information about a student at three diagnostic levels:
...
Level 1 Diagnostics: Benchmarks
Amira Reading Assistant provides a significant range of benchmarking and screening data. This includes an overall assessment of reading mastery (ARM score), fluency (ORF/WCPM) and Dyslexia Risk (DRI). An example of Benchmarking Diagnostics is shown below.
...
Amira’s Reading Assistant’s Level 1 Diagnostics benchmark each student against 8 separate metrics.
...
Level 2 Diagnostics: Domains/Threads Subscores
Amira Reading Assistant is designed around the SVRF and Scarborough’s Reading Rope. The Assessment delivers subdomain scores associated with each Reading Rope thread. These scores are expressed as PRs so educators can easily compare a student’s mastery level with national norms.
...
The third tier of diagnostics is generated from both Amira’s Reading Assistant’s formal assessment and from practice sessions. This tier is supported by two similar reports, the Skills Diagnostic and the Skills Status.
...
The report is designed so that teachers can simply scan for weak spots (shown in red). Teachers are then able to see the struggles Amira Reading Assistant has observed and access instructional resources targeted for those skills.
...
This report assists teachers in organizing students into groups and tailoring instruction to their needs by enabling them to drag and drop students who may have similar areas where improvement is needed.
