New Assessment Materials Now Available: The Concepts of Comprehension Assessment (COCA)™ and the Informational Strategic Cloze Assessment (ISCA)™ |

We are pleased to announce the availability of two new assessments of informational reading comprehension: The Concepts of Comprehension Assessment (COCA)™ for grades one and two and the Informational Strategic Cloze Assessment (ISCA)™ for grades one, two, and three. Both assessments are designed to measure four contributors to reading comprehension: comprehension strategy use, vocabulary strategy use and knowledge, knowledge of informational text features, and comprehension of graphics in the context of text.
We are making the ISCA™ and COCA™ assessments and all associated materials (including administration and scoring training videos) available free for download at the following links:
