Pretests By sj

Spelling--Morisson/McCall Spelling Scale (available from nine-enterprises.com) gives you 8 lists of 50 words ranging in difficulty from pk to 12th. The words in each list are similar in difficulty, so you can get a good picture of skills that students have. By giving once a month, you can track growth.
Reading--STAR (related to AR)
Reading--two word/call tests that give you approximate grade levels: Slosson Oral Reading Survey and Jordan Oral Survey of Reading (JOST). The JOST is much quicker and simpler to administer, especially if you will set the words up in a timed powerpoint presentation.
Hope this helps some.
