New edition of TORCH released
ACER recently published the second edition of the popular Tests of Reading Comprehension (TORCH). TORCH is a best selling Australian test used by teachers of students in Year 3 to Year 10 seeking information about the reading comprehension of their students.
The new edition has been thoroughly revised and builds on the popular features of the original test and includes new reading passages including both fiction and non-fiction, and up-to-date normative data. It can be used for assessment at the group and individual level.
The 12 reading tests that make up TORCH have been normed on over 7000 Australian students in Year 3 to year 10. A comprehensive Teacher Manual is also available.
Teachers can select the most appropriate test for their students, and generate both normative and descriptive report on the relative achievement of their students.
