Reading 3D is a reading
record on a handheld palm available from Wireless Generation. The instrument balances the assessment of foundational
skills with Text, Reading and Comprehension (TRC) diagnostics, giving a
complete picture of a student’s reading development. Teachers administer the TRC to collect a
variety of reading and comprehension information. The assessment involves a child reading a
passage from a leveled reader to combine quick indications of early skill
development with deep observations of students’ interactions with authentic
texts. Reading 3D is intended to be used
for grades K-5. The assessment can be
used for both determining benchmarks and for progress monitoring. A series of charts are provided from the
assessments to provide data for grouping and to aid in instructional decision
making.
