The Mastery Test is a domain referenced, nationally field-tested instrument designed specifically to assess the performance of students using the Edmark Reading Program. This highly reliable and relevant test consists of four subtests that closely mirror the instructional format of the Edmark Reading Program.

The Discrimination and Picture/Phrase Match subtests can be administered in a group setting. The Word Recognition and Oral Reading subtests require individual administration by teachers or paraprofessionals.

The Mastery Test can be used

For continuous progress monitoring in the Edmark Reading Program
To determine the student’s mastery of the program
As a placement instrument for students whose instruction in the Edmark Reading Program has been interrupted
To identify targeted reading objectives for the student’s IEP
Edmark Reading Program Progress Monitoring and End-of-Year Testing
