Get the Story Behind Every Student’s Reading Achievement

Life in the classroom would be a lot easier if every student learned at the same pace. But that’s rarely the case, especially when it comes to reading.

Educators have come to rely on the research-based Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests® (GMRT®), Fourth Edition, to get the real story behind every student’s reading achievement.

Assess Reading in Times of Change

Having up-to-date normative information is critical in times of change and education reform, as normative comparisons inform many education-related decisions.

Using GMRT with its updated norms allows you to assess student reading performance, make comparisons, and create effective instructional plans with greater confidence and accuracy.

Essential Skills for All Readers

GMRT has developmentally appropriate levels for all readers from Pre-Reading and Beginning readers through adults. The essential reading skills being measured can help teachers pinpoint students’ specific areas of weakness.
