[senco-forum] timed reading comprehension group test for yr 9

Beware !
Science modules - multi-choice ... Edexcel ... there was so much reading
candidates hardly had enough time for the answers - well, you know what
I mean!

We tried 10% extra time - aaaaarrghhhh (same for no xt)
Even 25% for some was not enough!

Anyway:
TOWRE
WRAT 4
ERTi

Dear All, 
                 I usually screen yr 10 with WRAT E (level 5) as it's a
'timed' test to help see who may need extra time in the GCSEs. Our
science department has decided to enter the current yr 9s for a module
in the summer so I have got to screen a year earlier...
       Does anyone have any suggestions for a suitable test - I have
thought of buying the younger version of the WRAT E (level 4) or I could
use the Edinburgh but wondered what others use and if there is anything
else available. I like to keep the Edinburgh for those pupils I'm
assessing individually so didn't want to have already used it.
  Thanks in advance,
  janet
