The document describes the Test of Reading Comprehension (TORC-3), which measures reading comprehension abilities in students ages 7-17. It aims to identify students struggling with reading, determine strengths/weaknesses, and measure progress from interventions. The TORC-3 consists of several subtests measuring vocabulary, syntax, paragraph comprehension, sentence ordering, and direction following. It provides scores in raw points, grade/age equivalents, percentiles, and standard scores to evaluate a student's reading level compared to peers. Consistency across subtests or weaknesses in specific areas can indicate needs. The TORC-3 was updated from previous versions to address criticisms around its normative sample.
