Pearson developed Stanford Reading First in response to the Reading First initiative of No Child Left Behind. This valid, reliable test meets all the Reading First requirements for an outcome measure. Stanford Reading First questions were selected from the SESAT 1 (K.0 – K.5) through Primary 3 (3.5 – 4.5) Reading and Listening subtests of Stanford 10. The questions were selected to assess the five essential components of reading as specified by the Reading First legislation: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, reading fluency, and reading comprehension strategies. Teacher-scored measures of oral fluency were also developed for Stanford Reading First.
