For years, schools could hand out the same old test and obtain basic data on each learner. Not particularly helpful and it offered only limited scope for nurturing improvement.
In today’s data-rich world, schools can unearth much more from reading tests than ever before. They have analytics at their fingertips (without needing to be an Excel whizz) to support learners individually while embedding the results into their whole-school literacy strategies.
Gone are the times when this was a necessary evil; testing reading effectively is now a catalyst for improving grades. You just need the right one to align with your objectives and vision for the future. To help you out with this, we’ve compared the new Bedrock Reading Test with three existing tests (NGRT, Star Reading and Sparx Reader).

Changing the way we think about reading tests
Bedrock’s Reading Test incorporates all the latest best practice, technology and analytics to produce the most comprehensive and accurate assessment of learners, year groups and whole schools.
The test is developed in collaboration with Professors Jessie Ricketts and Kate Nation and the University of Cambridge Psychometrics Centre. The test is fully adaptive, tests students across the widest range of materials and it’s standardised with national benchmarks, giving you:
- Reading age
- Standardised Age Score (SAS)
- National Percentile Ranking (NPR)
- Group Ranking
- Subskill analysis
At Bedrock Learning, we see it as a fundamental part of your literacy strategy. Therefore, we offer the Bedrock Reading Test at a faction of the price of other providers when purchased as part of a school-wide literacy enhancement solution.
