    APPENDIX I INSTRUCTIONS AND NORMS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS IN READING For copies of the tests, see pp. 522-3 Test R 2. Simple Prose Reading Test Instructions for Administering.——“*‘ Read this aloud for me, please. Try to remember what you read, because I am going to ask you some short questions about it.” If a child baulks over a word, encourage him to try it, allow fifteen seconds, and if he is unsuccessful, ask him to spell the word. Note on the error sheet any incorrect versions given. If he still does not recognise the word, say it, Jet him repeat it, and then allow him to proceed. Record such prompting as an error. If the pupil rectifies an initial mistake in pronunciation, it does not count as a fault. Make the timing of the reading unobtrusive ; encourage pupils but do not interrupt them. Immediately after the reading has been completed, take the text away and say, “‘ Good, now answer these questions, please.” Give the pupils time to think about any part of the material if they require it, but neither answer questions from them nor indicate whether their answers are correct or otherwise. Simply encourage them if necessary and proceed to the next question. Reading Age in Years. | sp keaca of Errors ade. Less More than 6:0 than 18 6:0 18 6°5 14 7:0 li 7°5 8 8-0 5 8°5 3 9:0 2 oS I
