Information for Placement of Students into Reading Skills for Today’s Adults

The levels of Reading Skills for Today’s Adults 1-16 are NOT grade level equivalents. Please use the following document to determine placement for students. Students will likely place at different levels for fluency instruction vs. comprehension instruction. NRS-approved reading assessment scores (CASAS Life & Work, CASAS GOALS and TABE 11/12) can provide a starting place for comprehension
