The document discusses the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA), a standardized tool used to assess early grade reading. EGRA measures skills such as letter recognition, decoding, oral reading fluency, and comprehension. It includes subtests appropriate for kindergarten through 3rd grade levels. Scores are calculated through percentages of correct answers, and proficiency is determined as independent, transitional, or emergent based on percentages. The document provides examples of calculating scores for tasks like oral reading speed and comprehension. The overall reading level is based on the higher of word reading and comprehension scores.
