Predictive Assessment of Reading (PAR) is "teacher friendly". PAR's advantages include:
- a simple to score test requiring less time per student
- quick data entry into a secure web site
- immediate printout of results
The examiner receives a printable report for each student including
- an overall predicted score
- four subtest scores
- recommendations prioritized for intervention and intensity of remediation needed
Using these clinically-validated results, educational plans for individual students can be quickly formulated.
Plans for individual student remediation are based on:
- Overall score predicting a student's future reading level if no intervention or remediation is provided, thus indicating overall level of risk for a particular student;
- Remediation priority code identifying the first priority for remedial attention given a student's profile of strengths and weaknesses;
- Remediation intensity code estimates of the degree of educational challenge given a particular student's profile.
