Free Reading Assessments

It is very common for researchers to develop a short assessment to use with their research project.  When the results of the research project are published in a journal, the assessment is published as well.  These assessments are typically based in good research information, and can be used by classroom teachers as objective criterion-referenced assessments.  Here, for free download, are a collection of such assessments that have been used in reading research projects.
